can you ping your connections? like your dns server's ip or your default gateway? Is your NIC ok? Lan ok?

I installed a LINkSyS and everything works again. The LinkSYS is faster than the 3COM510 and easier to setup. Just plug and set all NIC to auto config and go. Maybe have to tinker with firewalls a bit, but this was easy. (brother-n-law deal. traded a car for a few days and he donated his wired...

Thanks Jack for the link. This is my problem with using XP's ICS wizard: ------------------------------------------------------------------ However, XP ICS is missing some features of those earlier versions. You can't disable the DHCP server, change the server computer's IP address, or change...

QUESTION: Why is this 24.xxx NIC's IP number causing XP to not be able to share this connection Can I get around this being that the ISP won't recongnize or respond to any other IP assignment? HISTORY: I am (was) using a router to share Inet with 1 or 2 other computers on a...

"Christian" I guess would also be "hated" here.

Snake it. Go to the rental place and rent a short (25') hand operated snake. It won't take much to unclog it.

I would like to help you (if my son would sell his to you). Really, you probably like them because of the same reason my son does....solid, big, different looking, classic. They are really well built and last forever. His is a diesel and don't know the model (think it is a 5xx series). At this...

thank Peter, but I have tried 2 cards and each do the same, in different slots. I will try another slot to see if it is bad slots.

Like how do you do that? Is this a resident Win program that can be executed from the command line? I typed 'memtest86' from my command line and no go.

This is a new build pc with an MSI 815e Pro mobo, PIII, 192mb ram. W2k and Wxp won't install for some reason, but W98 will, even after doing a deep level format of the hdd and error check with Maxtor utility pgm. W98 is recognizing the PCI modem as a Network communication device. When boot up...

mucman, yu really did dive in. How long have you been a Linuxor? What do you plan to do with your network knowledge? Ever think about that?

Have you tried pinging each ip? If not, do so and see if each connection is established. from command C: prompt, Ipconfig to get each ip address and ping each from each computer. If that is not so, check your NIC connection setting, TCP/IP -->Advanced-->Win---check that TCP over Netbios is...

Pblm Solved!!! Once I figured who the culprit was, I printed the Local Security Settings from SE6-2 and compared them to Se6. Se6 was not allowing SE6-2 to logon, but only when using XP pro o/s. When W2k was being used on Se6, no problem. When XP pro was used, the other XP pro machine could not...

LAN is now working on both PC's. But this is how: I am logged on to my backup o/s of XP Pro on Se6-2. Also logged on to W2k on SE6. Everything is working on both machines, Workgroup is fully functional, Inet connections are working. Setup on each NIC: Client for MS Networks QoS packet...

I know very little about networks, but I find that if it is working for you, the less enabled the better off you are. I find without Netbios enabled, response between mapped drives and regular exploring of files/partitions is faster. Maybe other things at work, but it is my observation...
