Problem with a fixed-IP address in the LAN
I have a wired LAN and router with integrated switch.
The network is configured as peer-to-peer windows workgroup with many different systems: WinXP, NT4, Win2000, Win95 and Win98SE. The router offers DHCP featu thus I have configured some PCs in order to get automatically the IP address, some other PCs must have instead a fixed IP. Well till now all work fine. I have now a Win98SE notebook: it works in the LAN only if I set "Obtain an IP address automatically". On the other hand if I set "Specify an IP address" and give a compatible address I cannot access shared resource in the LAN. I can see the are PC of the LAN in explorer "network neighborhood", but if I click on the PC-name then I get no access. Moreover from a DOS box I cannot ping the other PCs. I tried changing the IP address (using always free addresses), but I got no results. In my LAN I have other win95 and win98 PCs with fixed IP-address. I repeated for this notebook the same network configuration as for those Win9x PCs, but i do not understand why it does work only with automatic IP and not with fixed IP-Address. Any suggestion? Thank you for replying. Gio |
