Penfold 0 Posted June 26, 2000 I have at home two machines one that is dual boot Win2K Pro/Win98SE the other just runs Win 98SE. When they both running Windows 98 everything Works fine so I know the NICs and cable fine. When I running Win 2K on one and Win98SE on the other they dont see each other at all... I cant even ping them. The dual boot Win2K Pro\Win98 machine uses a ISA Realtek 8019 NIC made by Genius. The Win98 Machine uses an PCI Realtek 8029 NIC made by Genius. And the machines are conected through a coax cable. Both have the following installed: Client For Microsoft Networking TCP/IP File and Printer Sharing Can anybody help give me any tips the get the machines to talk to each other. Many thanks Peter R Share this post Link to post
rlculver 0 Posted June 27, 2000 Hi, I had some networking problems like this. They the following: - 1. Make sure they are both pointing to the same WORKGROUP. 2. Specfic an IP Address for each (First machine 192.168.0.1 - Second machine 192.168.0.2 etc). 3. Set up user / guest accounts on the win2k machine. Add themas local users. 4. Get updated drivers for your NIC cards for win2k / win98. 5. - Make sure there are no conflicts with the IRQ's on the network. 5. - E-mail me at rlculver@yifan.net or ICQ me - 68119581. Hope this helps Robert Culver IT Student Hope this helps Share this post Link to post
kgeissler 0 Posted June 27, 2000 You could also try installing IPX/SPX on both boxes and see if that works. Share this post Link to post
AnTiLooP 0 Posted July 3, 2000 Why not just ru it on NetBuei if you not intending to run the second pc for internet ? Specify workgroup, install netbuei and reboot... ! ------------------ Share this post Link to post
Down8 0 Posted August 1, 2000 Even though I had server up and running using only TCP/IP, when I clean installed pro, I could not see my network, until I installed NetBUI and IPX [both of which I think are useless, for my purposes]. Now, I can see everyone on my network. If only I could share files with them... ------------------ -brianZjones Code: ============ -------------------Home built: Also, just for fun:Soyo SY-7VCA AST Bravo LC 4/66d[VIA T82C694X] Intel 486 CPU[onboard sound] 40 MB RAMPIII 500E [flip chip] 500 MB Conner HddPNY 128 MB PC100 RAM 3 1/2, 5 1/4, 2x CDStealth III S540 3com Etherlink II3com Etherlink III Adaptec AHA-1545 SCSIQuantum Fireball 10.3 GB [to host some files on:]HP 20" Monitor 1.3 GB internal SeagateWin2K Pro [v5.00.2195, SP-1] 2x 2 GB external Seagate[format > clean install] Windows 95 [v4.00.1111] pcAnywhere 9.2 [so I can leave it in the closet] Share this post Link to post
