okay guys, i have a weird problem here. I just bought 3 linksys 100 base nics, and a linksys 100 base switch, this is for a 3 computer network (2 win98, 1 win2k). 1 system being a server/internet proxy, on windows 98. problem is none of the computers can see each other. all the cards are installed, drivers work, main computer on ip 192.168.0.1 and subnet of 255.255.255.0 all have ms client installed and tcp/ip and file sharing enable. also all are on the same workgroup. and the 2 clients are on ip auto detect and dhcp enabled.
nope still can't see each other. I manually set the ip on the client too, still don't work.
i know the cable I made works because it lights up on the card and the switch . I have tried the same cable(s) on other computers which work.
now when I plug in a computer with another brand network card (with the same switch and same cable), into the network, it sees the server just fine. They both see each other fine. yet, when I plug back in the computer with the linksys card, it dont' work. what gives????
need help!
i doubt I am unlucky enough to have 3 bad network cards.
