Lana Problem
I am trying to network two Win 98 machines and I am having communication
problems. Using Client for Microsoft networks, Netbui and TC/IP. Both machines have the same workgroup name and file sharing enabled. Ipconfig gives field info for Lana 1, but nothing for Lana 0. Net Diag gives error 14h for Lana 0. How can I change either info. for Lana 0, or use Lana 1 for network. One machine goes on line and I am using 10/100 switch between units. I have a network printer which, when hooked up, also uses this switch and works well. Thank you for any help. |

These must be different, but only in the 4th segment of the i.p. address. The first three segments must be identical on both machines. The simplest way to resolve this issue is to replace the 10/100 switch with a router. The router will contain a DHCP server which will automatically assign i.p. addresses to the connected computers. These routers are not expensive and you could find one for as little as $20. The other option, of course, is to manually configure the i.p. addresses using the TCP/IP properties for each computer. You could use, for example 192.168.0.1 for the first computer, and 192.168.0.2 for the second. Your network printer, in this example, would use an i.p. address in the same range (between 192.168.0.3 and 192.168.0.255). Good luck Ron Martell Duncan B.C.

Canada Traded switch for a router ( $60.00 ) at Best Buy in Edmonton. Works like a charm. The switch worked too, occasionally, but since I shut my machines off after use, the settings would always have to be set-up after startup. I found that networking is not what I need, except for my Laser printer, there is too little control over other machines. I tried a free version of vnc program, but could not make it work. I will get a 4 unit KVM switch, currently use a 2 unit , and move my data aquisition machine closer to the other 2 machines, rather than at a more remote location. Thank you for the advice. |
