If you really really really want to do this (an dlike the rest of the posters here I suggest you don't) then you can look into creating a VPN tunnel to your homne, and then surf out from there. However, if the network was managed by me, then VPN's would be locked down tight (security risks) and...

If the 314 is a switch as LordOfAll believes then can you force the duplex - or is it auto negotiate only? If it's auto negotiate then only set the NICs to auto negotiate or half duplex. If you set the NICs to full duplex then the switch will not receive any negotiation commands and will assume...

The Cat5 standard specify's (amongst other things) the number of twists per peter, guage of wires, capacitence across the wires and how much cross talk is allowed.

Can you PING your ISP's DNS server??? Are you running any kind of firewall (either software or hardware)???

I assume that your friends connection is DSL??? PPPoE only works on DSL.

Is her IPSEC device behind a router doing NAT??? If so, then unless the IPSEC client is using IPSEC ESD, and the router is able to do IPSEC forwarding it is not going to work. Most small, low end routers do not have the capability to do IPSEC passthrough. This is a major problem that I'm...

A word or warning about duplex (it's been said many times before but we still get customers phoneing up with these problems)... You must never have a full duplex port connected to a half duplex port. if you do then you will see many collisions on that link, and the throughpout will be greatly...

Namit23... I still don't think that would work as you still need to tell the NAT device which (dynamic) IP address to forward the data to. Unless the dynip client is in constant communication with the dynip servers that is - thus ensuring the NAT device would know where to pass the data to...

There is a known Microsoft Win2K issue when 2K is used to navigate through Win95/98 directories. The MS support article number is: Q245800 Mr-Mayhem

Spiff, I agree with your NAT comment assuming that the connection is being initiated from the LAN side of the NAT device - yes it does translate multiple IP addresses on the LAN to a single IP address that is then seen on the internet. However, the original posters problem was that he wanted to...

Hi all... Does anyone know how to find the Windows login name of the current user on a Win95/98 machine. Something like the "whoami" function of Unix. On some machines you can find it from the Start menu, because there is a "Log Off xxxxx" entry... but not always. NT and 2K...

If you are getting a 10.x.x.x address then your firewall is doing NAT (Network Address Translation) - basically it's converting many IP addresses on the LAN into a single IP address on the internet. Running any kind of server, or expecting anyone in the internet to connect to your machine is...

It's possible that the 10/100 port on the SMC unit isn't negotiating correctly for speed / duplex??? Mr-Mayhem
