slewis1972 0 Posted October 2, 2000 Hi, I have setup a home network and and cannot seem to ping each machine. This is the senario:- 2 PC's connected together with a crossover cable. First PC running Win2k with both TCP and Netbios installed with an IP address of 192.168.0.1, plus subnet 255.255.255.0. Second PC running Win95 with both TCP and Netbios installed with an IP address of 192.168.0.2, plus subnet 255.255.255.0. Both using 3com 10Mbps Combo cards using Cat5 cable. Both configured using Workgroup:- Home Both see each other using Netbios over TCP - Fine, no problem. If I disable Netbios then no can see the Workgroup.BUT cannot ping either machine. If I though conflict the machines by making them run the same IP address then an error shows up saying there is a conflict due to IP address conflict. So why no PING. Any ideas what I can try tonight when I get home. Scott Share this post Link to post
Yamazaki 0 Posted October 3, 2000 Argh. Get rid of Win95, man I just finished setting up my home network with the same config as you, (crossover and the 10mb cards)and WinME to WinME was a pain (that home networking wizard is absolutely phucked) But surprisingly found it easy when it came to W2k. Now I could go through the steps on exactly how I have it, But it would be no real point Because 95's tcp/ip stack is ****house so I would try to get 98 on there if you can.
