Internet Sharing

[Gonthrax]

Donno if you've resolved the situation or not, but have you run the ME Networking setup disk on the computer with 95? Its the disk you can make through the ME Networking Wizard.

My old room mate and I networked a computer with 95 and one with ME. The one with ME had two network cards and a cable modem, I was sharing internet with it. It took us for ever to get it to work, but it finaly did

I now have winXP pro and win98SE, and I used the Winxp network wizrd, adn nothing. Actually, worse, as the 2 comps cant even share files (I think because I can't install certain protocol, like netbieu of winxp)
And its really irking me, I worked on it for a few hours now.

If anyone has any suggestions for this, let me know.

Ok, under network properties, what do you have installed? Like what adapters, protocols and such?

I have netbieu, ipx/spx compatible, adn TCP/Ip on win98 computer. On winxp, I have NWLink netBIOS, NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS compatible transport protocol, TCP/IP, and Network monitor driver (I also have, of course, Client for Microsoft networks and file and printer sharing on)

Sometimes, from win98, I can see my moms comp, but when I click on it, it says it is not accesible. It is fairly driving me nuts

If anyone has ANY ideas as to what they did, I would appreciate them. Any little tid-bit would help:help:

That sounds exactialy like what me and my roomie had happening, accept at one point, we could share internet, see each other, but when we tried to browse "Network is not Accesible) :finger:

WEll, it still isn't working. I manually defined IP addresses (192.168.10.1 and 192.168.10.2) and gateways (192.168.10.20). No network, and a ping test from the client didn't work (I didn't try from host, couldn't find dos at the time, know where it is now)

BUT when I changed the clients IP to the same as the host, I tried logging on, and it said that another computer on the network already had the IP, so it is kinda working. This gave me hope, but also pissed me off.

Next weekend I will try putting netBIEU on XP, and try it then. Maybe I'll even call tech support (yes, desperation is setting in).
