Now - trust me as I have always had a problem getting a tcp/ip network running - wizards are great except when they don't.
lappy - running win98se - laptop cut down install - pcmcia socket services are running and show no problems - under netbuei this did not work - so I am goning back to tcp/ip
ip addy is the usual - 192.168.0.3 for this no modem 'd machine - no updates - as I do not wish to get it running online if possible.
I set the shares up on the drives and set the wanting to give access to my files and printers. and reboot -
What I get when done - and this is under buei or tcp is: I double click "Net nieghbors" and it gives me the entire network icon - but when I click it - it gives a message of unable to browse the net - open your trouble shooter to drive yourself nuts.
When I alt click the net neighbor - and go looking for the machine by name - it appears and gives me the drives.
In a dos prompt - ping does not lose its messages -
But when I try to get the box form the net neighbor - no fun.
PS - cross over cable - nothing else - same workgroup - same protocols - same everything.
PPS - subnet masks set to 255.255.255.0
what I think i need is to find a way to test this little pcmcia networkcard - or point me to a step by step method of setting this up.
netbuei has always been my default install - just because its fast and a no brainer - but I really need this sorted out - to ghost off this machine as well?
Centurion - thanks for reading - a larger thanks for ideas.
