PeerToPeer XP to 98 -Can't ping XP from 98 PC.
Hello,
I'm trying to get an XP and 98 PC to share files. First of all I know the network cards work on both machines because of previous configurations. I'm using a null cable instead of a hub. I set up the XP with a 192.168.1.2 & 255.255.255.0 Ip config. I set up the 98 machine with 1.3 (same subnet mask). I can ping the 98 IP from the XP machine. I cannot ping the XP machine from the 98 machine. Note: I couln't ping the 98 machine until I set the gateway address on the XP machine to its own address( i.e. 192.168.1.2). I've set the gateway address on the 98 machine to both ip's. But I didn't think I had to set a gateway address for peer to peer. Also, XP won't let you set a 0.0.0.0 address in the gateway sectiion. I'm sharing the C:\ drive on the 98 machine. Both have the same workgroup name and unique PC names. I even installed the Netbios protocol on the XP machine to see I could share that way. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong! Thanks a bunch! Bkeller |

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong! Thanks a bunch! Bkeller The most likely problem is that a firewall on the XP machine is blocking access from the 98 machine -- either XP's built-in Internet Connection Firewall, or a third-party program like ZoneAlarm or Norton Internet Security. A computer can't be its own default gateway. Something else must be responsible for enabling XP to ping 98. The default gateway is used to access IP addresses that aren't on the local area network. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.

PeerToPeer XP to 98 -Can't ping XP from 98 PC.
Steve,
Thanks for the insight. In fact after you said that it was pointed out to me that this particular machine had been configured with ICS for modem sharing some time ago. I will remove and try again. Thanks again .....always appreciate another pair of eyes!!! -----Original Message----- In article 24de01c47030$5166a8c0 , "BKeller" wrote: Hello, I'm trying to get an XP and 98 PC to share files.
