Sounds like either a missing Gateway or DNS. Simple to test:

On the client machine that can't access the net, open IE and browse to a site via IP address and not via named pipe. If that works, the connection is working fine and you have a DNS problem. If that does not work, see if your gateway is ...

where X:\ stands for the cd drive with the XP cd in.

Hey, the VfB is doing much better under Magath now...interesting to compare the team against last years pos.

...and boy, are they fast. I ordered from Provantage on Sunday (!) evening (!) and as of this morning on Monday (!) the item has shipped from a regional near (!) warehouse and i have a tracking number....dude, they don't waste any time...

i contacted nexland and asked if they are the only resellers and they gave me a website of provantage.com and they have it for $114.50 plus 5.50 shipping. It ships directly from nexland though.

computer description is not necessary.

if both machines are in the same workgroup, with the right range of ip addresses, the right netmask, both have client for microsoft networks installed AND you enable file and printer sharing AND shared it, then something must be either wrong with your windows ...

file and printsharing is enabled on both machines? Try mapping a shared network drive/folder manually.

Can you ping the other machine?

nono, i'm sorry if it sounded like setting up a workgroup for printers....

I meant make sure that when you rightclick on "my computer" on all your machines, the workgroup name is the same when you check under "properties -> computer name". If the computers are not in the same workgroup, change the ...

did you set a workgroup for both computers? Put them in the same workgroup, reboot and doubleclick the network icon. The upcoming window should be seprated in 2 sections: "Local Network" in the upper part of the window, "Unspecified" in the lower part (thats how it looks in WinXP at least). In the ...

nevermind, i ordered a Nexland ISB-Soho for $120 including shipping.

Ok, now more details:

the printer is a tcp/ip printer or a parallel printer?

If parallel: Where is the printer connected to? The XP machine or the win98 machine.

If TCP/IP: is the printer pingable?

Now, what do you mean with "recognize" each other? You mean the file sharing does not work?

Also ...

Do you use DHCP in the router or did you assign IP addresses manually? If manually, are they all in the same network IP range and in the same subnet?

Oki, the good'ol'question.

I am on the run for a new cable router. I own a Linksys Toy and wanna start playing with real routers now (in other words: i hate my linksys after 8 months of struggling).

I am not afraid of telnet (hey, afterall, it's my job!!), so Netgear products are an option.

I am ...
