Hi,
I've got a problem to create a local network between my PC WinXp and a PC Win98.
How did I configure my network? I've just followed the different steps which the WindowsXP'assistant told me. When my PCWinXP was configurated, I create the configuration disk for
the other PC with the same assistant. Then I executate the file created ("netsetup.exe") on this PCWin98.
Then, I choose this configuration:
PC WinXP:
IP: 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Workgroup: MSHOME
Nework card: Fast Ethernet PCI Realtek RTL8139 Family
PC Win98:
IP: 192.168.0.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Workgroup: MSHOME
Network card: Peabird Ethernet PCI 10/100
(Somebody thas told me I shouldn't use these IPs. So I've alos tried with this one:192.68.1.2 and 192.168.1.3, but it doesn't change anything).
Someone has also told me to create a gate on my PC Win98, using the IP 192.168.0.1 (the PCXp's IP!). But I don't really think it's necessary while I'm not sharing any internet connection, I
just want to create a simple network between the two PCs.
The good protocols are configured on the two PC's.
So, what is the result ?
I've tried "ipconfig" for each PC; result OK, the good parameters were considered for each network card.
When I ping the PCWin98 locally, it's ok, I've got an answer. When I ping the Pc WinXp from the PC Win98, it doesn't work, no response...
When I ping the PCWinXp locally, problem, no response. But when I ping the PCWin98 from the PC WinXP, it's ok, I've got the answer.
I've read in the faq that the problem could be in this case a firewall. But I uninstall all the firewall on my PCs, even the default one on WinXp (ICF). I uninstall ZoneAlarm (the firewall I use) with the uninstall tool given by the fabricant, but it seems it doesn't uninstall everything, because when I install it again, it tells me "Do you want to delete older files which have been installed first on your computer?" or something like that...Is it the cause of my problem? I don't know...Well, with or without this firewall, the problem is the same...
I also have antivirus on my machines (norton on WinXp's one, mcaffee on the Win98's one); are there firewalls integrated in these antivirus? Maybe the problem could come from there if it's the case...
When I try to see the PCs "through" Windows, I just see the PCWin98 on the PCWin98 (normal, i can ping it!), but I don't see anything on the PCWinXp: it says "MSHOME is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permission . The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently
available. "
So, as mentionned in the faq, I have verified that the Computer Browser service was running on at least one Windows XP computer on the network (in fact I've just got only one PC WinXp in my local network): it was ok.
I don't know what to do. Please help.
Thanks.
