WIn98se ICS odd timing/connect loss issues cropping up, still there after reinstall... advice ?
In article , says...
Network Address Netmask Gateway Address Interface Metric 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.1.1.1 10.1.1.5 1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.1.1.1 192.168.0.1 1 This looks to be the source of the problem. There should only be one default gateway on the hostpc. The first line above is correct which is set on the onboard adaptor. Leave the RTL8029 gateway blank which will remove the second line. This won't affect the client routing. Ah ha, I should have said that when I had the gateway clear on the RTL8029 the first time that the client PC didnt have any net access though could see each others files without problem but couldnt ping the router from the client or any net IP. But the host could ping the client. The sequence I desribed was repeated on one occasion with the client tried a few times, I just shortened it and checked it for purpose of brevity. But all this time I had forgotten to set the static route in the router after the initial partial success doh ! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ So once that was in - everything works a treat ) ! I am now manically happy all is going well, you have no idea what a relief as my client pcs emails had accumulated and that is where I do most work from late at night with heaps of odd tech sites I review etc sigh The ping of my ISP dns from the client is around 20ms and on average the same as from the host which is also going very smoothly. I just have to limit the u/l bandwidth of uTorrent so it wont clog the output queue... So I must say many thanks for your patience and accuracy, it has been a great experience to follow your reasoning and become more acquatined with the issues of networking in general and as relates specifically to my setup which I think for as long as possible I will keep with 98se and resist as far as possible to 'upgrade', thankyou -- Now I will be looking at the simplest way to allow my son to dial into my machine so he can get onto the net from his mothers place across town during the week. So I have another learning curve there it seems, dial up networking with 98se (i am told) is mostly straightforward with occasional pitfalls but I have time to asses that. ie I would be looking to have my son dial in on the same line I have adsl on, but of course have a filter between the line and the dialup modem (netcom) which I also understand wouldnt go any faster than 33K... Some 2 years ago I tried a program called 'netfor2' for the host which worked surprisingly well and allowed my lab laptop to have its own net access across from my host pc and all connected through a simple 3 wire RS232, it didnt allow shared file transfer just relayed internet requests. Something like that which my son could have email and web access to would be ideal, -- Regards Mike * VK/VL Commodore FuseRails that wont warp or melt with fuse failure indication and now with auto 10-15 min timer for engine illumination option. * VN, VP, VR Models with relay holder in progress. * Twin Tyres to suit most sedans, trikes and motorcycle sidecars http://niche.iinet.net.au |

You should be able to you use the dialup server which comes with win98. You will get more flexibility by putting the remote machine(s) on a different subnet just like you have with your own clientpc This subject cropped up some time ago in another short thread which I tracked down in the google archives. Although it used the NT remote access service rather than the win98 DUN server the principle is the same so the thread will be worth a read. http://preview.tinyurl.com/25ny8h http://tinyurl.com/25ny8h Regards Jim. |
