335869 2005-03-20 05:02:00 Read again carefully...that is IP for Win98 , The XP client is quoted as 192.168.0.2 pheonix (36)
335870 2005-03-20 05:27:00 my bad dude . . . . ok here's what i got . . . .



XP Client



Internet Protocol TCP/IP Properties for my LAN Icon

Use the Following IP Address

IP Address: 192 . 168 . 0 . 2

Subnet Mask 255 . 255 . 255 . 0

Default Gateway: Blank


Use the Following DNS Server Address ( i think i fudged up somewhere here)

preferred dns: 192 . 168 . 0 . 1

alternate dns: 202 . 27 . 184 . 5


Windows 98 SE Client:

Right clicked on Network Neighborhood icon and hit properties

went to TCP IP Protocol on my LAN Card and it reads . . . .

Specify IP Address is checked and it says

IP: 192 . 168 . 0 . 1

subnet mask is 255 . 255 . 255 . 0

the dns asks for a host and domain and i do not know what to put



EDIT: i also do not have a green light on either of my ethernet cards . . . . i know the wires and cards ARE good . . usually it would recognize the other computer and i would have to configure it manually but it wont even show that it's there

Internet Protocol TCP/IP Properties for my LAN Icon

Use the Following IP Address

IP Address: 192 . 168 . 0 . 2

This should be 192 . 168 . 0 . 1 as it'll be the main PC .

Subnet Mask 255 . 255 . 255 . 0

Default Gateway: Blank


Use the Following DNS Server Address ( i think i fudged up somewhere here)

preferred dns: 192 . 168 . 0 . 1

Delete this, as it'll point to the XP PC once u change the ip address


alternate dns: 202 . 27 . 184 . 5

This should be 192 . 168 . 0 . 2 . As its the networked PC .

subnet mask is 255 . 255 . 255 . 0

the dns asks for a host and domain and i do not know what to put

Try 192 . 168 . 0 . 1 for the host

335872 2005-03-20 08:41:00 Host on Win98 should just be the name of the PC. Keep the IP address for Win98 as 192.168.0.1. This HAS to be the gateways IP because otherwise Internet Connection Sharing WILL NOT WORK! WinXP should have its IP set at 192.168.0.2!

LEAVE the Primary DNS as 192.168.0.1 on WinXP, sometimes (Im not sure why) windows seems to like it if its the primary DNS. Leave the secondary one as 202.27.184.5 (Xtra's Terminator Secondary DNS Server)

On WinXP set the gateway as 192.168.0.1 (The 98 gateway) and then you should be all good :)

335873 2005-03-20 08:43:00 I just noticed you said the green lights arent on for your card.
The cable may work perfectly fine and be a patch cable, whereas you want a Crossover Cable.

Usually the main difference is the Cable is one color and the end connectors are another color.
Post back all the colors on the cable

335874 2005-03-20 14:03:00 ok it's probably me but it wont work still . . . and the colors on the end of my ethernet cord are both CLEAR . . . its the standard wire from Verizon Online DSL to hook from modem to your tower . . . . and please note that this setup HAS worked in the past but both computers were on XP pro



also . . . . if someone wants to give me their email or let me talk to them on AIM/YAHOO/MSNM i will send them a screen shot of how i set my computer up

335876 2005-03-20 21:49:00 The only thing is, if ur on DSL or similar, you may not have any choice BUT to get a router, or something .

If you're always connected, and the dialup on XP has no ICS .

Have u got an ICS option somewhere?? on XP's dialup, or however u connect??

this is for the Windows XP computer . . . i got the other 98 SE computer to get on the net also by transfering cables . . . so if you need to look at that one ill take a screen cap of that settings too which im pretty sure the fault lies with the 98 SE computer . . . but here ya go
