I know exactly what you feel like.
No good deed goes unpunished. We should start a club: People who get abused in exchange for offering to help people for free. Carey "N. Miller" wrote in message om... In article , James Egan says... You've had three goes at it and you still haven't corrected or clarified what you originally said. Fine. I am a stupid idiot. I'll go hide in the corner and forget I even have an Internet connection. Who needs it, anyway... -- Norman ~Win dain a lotica, En vai tu ri, Si lo ta ~Fin dein a loluca, En dragu a sei lain ~Vi fa-ru les shutai am, En riga-lint |

You've had three goes at it and you still haven't corrected or clarified what you originally said. Okay, I will try it one more time. I suppose it all comes down to "access" versus "connect". I was thinking "connect" when I wrote that. My NIC is not connected directly to the Internet. Satisified? -- Norman ~Win dain a lotica, En vai tu ri, Si lo ta ~Fin dein a loluca, En dragu a sei lain ~Vi fa-ru les shutai am, En riga-lint |

I was thinking "connect" when I wrote that. My NIC is not connected directly to the Internet. Satisified? It's not really a matter of me being satisfied. The only reason I commented in the first place was because the original poster was wondering why his LAN connection wasn't working and your post (without clarification) appeared to be telling him that the only way he was going to communicate with his LAN was to add a second nic. We both know he doesn't need to do that. "Satisfied" is getting to the point where the original poster understands it. As far as Carey's comments are concerned, he likes to wallow in self pity and can't differentiate between constructive criticism and trolling. Hopefully you can. Jim. |

We both know he doesn't need to do that. "Satisfied" is getting to the point where the original poster understands it. He only doesn't need a second NIC if he is using a shared ***connection***. In the case of an Internet connected computer which will be a gateway, he may need a second NIC; if the computer will be connecting to the Internet via an Ethernet broadband modem, and sharing that connection with other computers, a second NIC, for an Ethernet LAN, will be necessary (unless the modem/HSI account has a provision to supply multiple WAN IP addresses). But the whole thing centered on the difference between access and connect. Behind a router, the NIC does not directly connect with the Internet, only with the router (or gateway computer). -- Norman ~Win dain a lotica, En vai tu ri, Si lo ta ~Fin dein a loluca, En dragu a sei lain ~Vi fa-ru les shutai am, En riga-lint |

Make sure that the ME computer doesn't have NetBEUI or IPX installed (network protocols). If it does, get rid of them on all the computers. TCP/IP is not only "enough" it is often necessary that it be "alone". You must have the same protocol working for file sharing, etc. From experience, I believe that installing NetBEUI on an ME machine (that already has TCP/IP) will cause an XP machine with only TCP/IP installed to disappear from the ME machine's network neighborhood. It's as if NetBEUI has taken priority for being the protocol of choice and, since it doesn't exist on the XP machine, can't share. Removing NetBEUI is much preferable to having it installed all over the place. Fred "jhebron" wrote in message news:fz0ad.363941$Fg5.194989@attbi_s53... I am running ME and XP and I can't get them to share files. I am running a Linysys cable modem and Linksys router. I can get the Internet on both computers no problem, they just wont see each other to share files and printers. Is the firewall in XP Service Pak 2 stopping them from anything. I also have Norton Security and Anti-virus on each computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I noticed no one mentioned the workgroup names on your network ideally should be the same. Also enable netbios over TCP-IP on the XP box. The Win ME workgroup name change can be done by rt clicking on network places, select properties then identification. WinXP is similar , just click on the network ID button and you will find where to change the workgp name. To enable Netbios on the XP box get into control panel - select network, rt click on LAN connection , click on TCP-IP - select properties. click the ADVANCED button select the WINS tab. Near the bottom of this window is a tick to enable netbios. Good luck |
