ME & XP Networking Problems
I have a ME computer and an XP computer which i installed the network on. At
one point, the ME computer could not access the XP computer because of the firewall on the XP computer. Now the ME computer doesn't work, and it acts as if i never installed the network, even though i have tried reinstalling the network. I just would like my network to work. |

What do you see in Network Properties? There are a number of menus and tabs to check, but what is in the "Configuration" tab of the first menu you get on properties. Mine shows these items, but your list should be different: --------------------------------------------- |Configuration|Identification|Access Control| ------------------------------- The following network components are installed: Client for Microsoft Networks Microsoft Family Logon Dial-Up Adapter HP EN1207D-TX PCI 10/100 Fast Ethernet Adapter LapLink USB Network Cable TCP/IP - Dial-Up Adapter TCP/IP - HP EN1207D-TX PCI 10/100 Fast Ethernet Adapter TCP/IP - LapLink USB Network Cable USB-USB Network Bridge - Dial-Up Adapter USB-USB Network Bridge - HP EN1207D-TX PCI 10/100 Fast Ethernet Adapter USB-USB Network Bridge - LapLink USB Network Cable File and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks You should have, at the minimum for a network, the Ethernet adapter (likely by a different manufacturer than HP), and the TCP/IP protocol bound to that adapter. The fourth and sixth items in my list. -- 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 have all the necessary components, but it just doesn't work. It used to
work, but it stopped, and I haven't uninstalled anything since it was working. "N.

just thought it would help to know that i can access the shared files and
printers on the ME computer from the XP computer. "N. Miller" wrote: On Sun, 5 Jun 2005 00:29:01 -0700, Max Power wrote: I have a ME computer and an XP computer which i installed the network on.

Well, when somebody tells me that their car just stopped working, I have to really take a guess. I assume that the Windows ME isn't completely dead; i.e., what isn't working about the computer is the LAN. Otherwise you wouldn't even be able to start it at all. I began with the components, because them not being there would be a show stopper. I suppose that the next thing I can suggest is to run 'winipcfg' from the Start Run menu. Use the button to get "More Info ". Right click on the title bar to get the "Copy" menu. Paste that into a post. Mine looks like this: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Windows IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . : MEGUMI.aosake.net DNS Servers . . . . . . . . : 206.13.31.12 206.13.28.12 Node Type . . . . . . . . . : Broadcast NetBIOS Scope ID. . . . . . : IP Routing Enabled. . . . . : No WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . : No NetBIOS Resolution Uses DNS : No Ethernet adapter : Description . . . . . . . . : HP EN1207D-TX 10/100 Family Adapter Physical Address. . . . . . : 00-10-B5-77-E6-46 DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . : Yes IP Address. . . . . . . . . : 192.168.102.100 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . : 192.168.102.1 DHCP Server . . . . . . . . : 192.168.102.1 Primary WINS Server . . . . : Secondary WINS Server . . . : Lease Obtained. . . . . . . : 06 05 05 17:04:20 Lease Expires . . . . . . . : 06 08 05 17:04:20 Ethernet adapter : Description . . . . . . . . : usb-usb network bridge adapter Physical Address. . . . . . : 00-50-77-01-2C-9D DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . : No IP Address. . . . . . . . . : 172.29.61.1 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . : Primary WINS Server . . . . : Secondary WINS Server . . . : Lease Obtained. . . . . . . : Lease Expires . . . . . . . : Ethernet adapter : Description . . . . . . . . : PPP Adapter.

The Ethernet adapter should have the LAN IP address. Other stuff will depend upon what you have configure. If you have the LinkLocal IP address, something like 169.254.x.x, then you have a DHCP problem. -- 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 |
