Problems Networking M-E to X-P
Hi The
I'm trying to "Home Network" 2 computers--a P2 300+mhz Windows M-E to a P2 400+ Windows X-P--with Internet Connection originating on M-E. In doing so I am utilizing the "Genelink" USB Cable--however, I am getting NO results--I do NOT see the X-P files on M-E nor do I see M-E files on X-P. The peculiar thing is I was able to do this last year (Network from 1.6 P4 X-P to 400 mhz Celeron M-E--but for some reason I just don't remember what steps to take and the "Genelink" manual doesn't offer any "troubleshooting" solutions.) Any help would be greatly appreciated. Neil |

This cable does not establish a network connection between your two
computers, and won't work at all unless you also install the software that came with it. -- Richard G.

Hi Richard--Thanks for answering. I have "Run" the software (floppy disk)
associated with the "Genelink" USB Cable . As I mentioned before, I "Home Networked" last year with no problems-- sharing printer, files & Internet Connection (only then, the Dial-Up Internet Connection ORIGINATED on an P4 1.6 ghz XP going TO a Celeron 400mhz ME)--this time my Dial-up Internet connection is originating on the P2 M-E going to the P2 X-P--don't see WHY that would be an issue--I believe the "problem" lies on the X-P machine--when I go to "Network Connections" and find my "Local Area Connection" (with "Genelink" USB) I try to "repair"--but it tells me "The following steps of the repair failed: Renewing the IP address". What does this mean and if this is indeed the problem, how to resolve it? Thanks Again, Neil "Richard G.
