I have 4 computers on a home lan. 3 computers have Linksys LNE100TX while 1 has Netgear FA310TX> Hub is LINKsys FENSK05.
Linksys tech support will not help me for DOS issues.
Norton website was weak for support. (I tried the method of removing the PCDOS files and using the MSDOS files)
I have spent 3 days trying to make Ghost 2001PE work in the "peer to peer" tcp/ip dos mode.
Slave puter has the LNE100TX PCI NIC. Master puter has a Netgear FA310TX PCI NIC. I have also tried connecting the computers using only the LInksys nics.
I receive the message "unable to connect via tcp/ip". This message appears after i select 1 computer as the master and one as the slave. I select the slave computer first then the master using the manual input of the ip address.
I use the boot disk wizard to create the DOS peer to peer disk for each computer.
I have to create NDIS & Packet templates from Linksys setup disk because Ghost doesnt have Linksys templates to choose. For the NDIS template, I selected the LNE100.dos file.
For the slave I type in my own ip address of 192.168.0.4 sub 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.0.1
when the linksys nic computer boots from the disk i see the message
"irq FF"
"adapter address FF FF FF FF FF FF"
plus the other info
Is the adapter address causing the problems?
Should I select some type of parameters in the boot disk setup instead of letting LNE100$ auto select the slot and media type? I have looked in the setup.ini and protocol.ini files on the linksys NDIS setup files. The only items i can select are: slot 1-4 and media type.
BTW I used to have Dlink pci 528ct NIC (10mb) installed and I was able to make ghost 2001 work in the tcp/ip peer to peer mode with the netgear 310tx nic computer.
The problem seems to be with the linksys 100mb cards.
any help is appreciated.
(my wife would like me to come out of the basement instead of battling with these computers)
