Bridging?
I have a laptop running Win98se with an internal NIC and a WiFi card.
I would like to connect a second laptop, which only has an internal NIC to the first laptop. I've tried various combinations, none of which work, and am thinking that I may need a bridge between the two adapters on the first laptop. Can this be done in software? If I assign addresses to the NICs, I can network the two machines, but can no longer access the wireless router via the first laptop. In that case, there are no address conflicts on the network. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Dave |

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the suggestions, I will give them a try later tonight. This is only a temporary lash-up, and if all else fails, I will just use a spare USB WiFi adapter on the 2nd computer (if I can find where I put the dang thing... If they make this stuff any smaller, we will have to use personal RFID to find the buggers...) Dave "Steve Winograd [MVP]" wrote in message ...

Steve,
I finally got around to adding my spare adapter to the computer. Unfortunately, since I am running WinXP Pro 64 bit version on that computer, there is no driver yet available for the card!

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Dave Have you thought of installing an Apache web server V1 (v2 is experiment if think)and getting at the conf file, bind/listen on IP addr. of the NIC adapter then enabling the proxy options. Run the server as an auto run service. Connect another client PC via a cross-wired cable or use a hud and have may clients. It work with most website, but not all. Which can be as pain! Ted. |
