239248 2004-05-27 00:05:00 firstly...what OS's are you useing?

>Network Wouldn't run with TCP alone, it seems to need Netbeui and ipx/spx to run

i suspect the reason you need both is youy havn't enabled netbios over ipx/spx.

follow chills advice. strip the network back to basic. scan for spyware and virus's. uninstall ALL firewalls. then setup tcp/ip networking. if XP you will need to use the networking wizard. hopefully you can get it running without having to reset/reinstall tcp/ip. once you have that running (you should be able to ping each pc etc) then you can install netbeui or ipx/spx which ever one you fancy and bind it to your windows fileshareing.

I am using win98se
I will give what you suggest a go and un-install everything, and start afresh.

Leave:
Client for Microsoft Networks
Your Network Adapter
TCP/IP for your Network Adapter

nope. uninstall everything. this will reset tcp/ip as well. then install Client for Microsoft Networks, Your Network Adapter, TCP/IP for your Network Adapter and dailup adapter.

also disable any email antivirus as it will throw a hissy when removing tcp/ip. don't forget to reenable it after installing the network.

239253 2004-05-27 11:06:00 Hi M@tt

The simplest way of doing it with win98se that I know: On the PC with net access
Install TCP/IP in networking, you do not need Netbeui (not routable anyway) or IPX/SPX
Then install ICS when this is done it should change your IP address to 192.168.0.1 but make sure it has.
On the second PC also have just TCP/IP installed and make sure the IP address is set to obtain automatic IP address.
That should work. ;)
