Home networking - Follow on from DNS Question

Recommended Posts

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

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.
