Jabba 0 Posted March 30, 2000 How can I get my friend's computer (who lives next door and is on rogers @home with me) to join my Workgroup in network neighbourhood. I read some stuff about LMHOSTS, and I put the appropriate information in there, but his computer refuses to show up anywhere in network neighbourhood or resolve when i type "\\computername" in the run command. My setup: *Win2k* IP: 24.112.191.112 Netmask: 255.0.0.0 No WINS server His setup: *Win98* IP: 24.114.229.160 Netmask: 255.0.0.0 No WINS server Share this post Link to post

YuppieScum 0 Posted April 9, 2000 Don't do what the idiot above suggests - your friends connection will stop working, and he'll probably get a nasty visit from the @Home police. Most service providers now filter the message types that allow network neighbourhood to work, otherwise you'd see everyone else's machine too - and they'd see yours. ------------------ SuperMicro P6DBS (dual UW-SCSI) BIOS 2.2, 2*Celery 300a @ 450Mhz, 384MB PC100 RAM SCSI-A=4.3Gb+9Gb, SCSI-B=Tosh32x CD-ROM, Yamaha4416 CD-RW, Iomega ZIP100, IDE1=4.3Gb IBM EtherJet 10/100 NIC PCI + Nortel ADSL "modem" Matrox G400 DH 32Mb AGP + Quantum3D Voodoo2 SLI PCI (CL TNT1 AGP on a shelf) SoundBlaster Live PCI (not Value) Win2K build 2195 Retail (not 120-day eval) Share this post Link to post
Andersony 0 Posted April 11, 2000 I messed around with MS VPN awhile back. If you have 2k Server, you could make use of this and accomplish what you wanted, if I remember right. [This message has been edited by Andersony (edited 11 April 2000).] Share this post Link to post
bobbyjr 0 Posted April 11, 2000 I have to admit I laughed at that opening line yuppie, but now that we know what not to do, what is your suggestion on what TO do. Is it even possible to do what this guy is asking about without being in "violation?"

YuppieScum 0 Posted April 11, 2000 It's possible to make an arbitrary connection between 2 machines - IRC, AIM, ICQ and deathmatch game all do it. Drive mapping should be do-able also, but it much depends on which ports the ISP actually allows traffic on - after a lot of bad publicity in the US, most cable companies actively filter port 138 (or 139) which is used by the Network Neighbourhood browser. Once I get cable in my apartment, I'll give it a go... Share this post Link to post
Arin 0 Posted April 12, 2000 in know that in win2k you can access his computer in telenet and he can yours, if he has windows 2000 and you have it to, in the admin tools, for telenet, you have to start the services. then go in to a regular telenet session type open and his ip and you should be in his comptuer in a dos format. my friend and i did that. but since he has 98 i dont know if it would work correctly.
