INFERNO2000 0 Posted August 7, 2000 I'm running Windows 2000 on my good computer, and WinME(as soon as it finishes installing) on my Compaq. I want to set up my WinMe as a server or proxy server or something like that....I have 2 Ethernet cards in the Compaq--one will plug into the Ethernet jack for the college, and the other will conect to my Win2k machine My questions are: 1: Do I need to take my Dad's hub, or can I arrange the Win2k and WinMe by a direct connection(through the Ethernet line) 2: What do I have to do to set up my ME(or 9x) machine to set it up as the server? 3: Anything else that can be recommended ------------------ OBSIDIAN (Win2k System) ---Custom Built--- AMD Athlon 750(model 2) retail (Slot A) Asus K7V Mobo BIOS revision 1007-02c(beta) PNY 288(295 listed)MB PC100 SDRAM (2x128 & 1x32) A-Top 901 Case & 300W Athlon Approved Power Supply 3 Internal 80mm fans(along with Power Supply, CPU, and GeForce fans) CL SB Live!

CUViper 0 Posted August 7, 2000 to connect directly between two computers, you will need to get a crossover cable, rather than the normal patch cable Share this post Link to post
dATAqUEST 0 Posted August 9, 2000 What you can do is do a peer to peer maching you can do it by setting up by tcp/ip one ip for one maching and anotherone to the other one e.j: 192.168.0.1 for one and the other one 192.168.0.2 Set up the identification TAB to and the user id and password of both should be the same. IN THE CABEL PART need a cross linked cabel. ------------------ dATAqUEST irc.prchat.org #jodachat Share this post Link to post
EddiE314 0 Posted August 10, 2000 just make a crossover cable, terminate one end in Alpha or "a" and the other end in Bravo or "b". Share this post Link to post
