| 230236 | 2004-04-29 22:31:00 | One other question while I remember. The host PC is part of a workgroup called teepee (don't ask). PC3 is also in that workgroup. However, for some reason PC2 sits in a workgroup called, strangely enough, workgroup. Even Kevin thinks that's a bit odd, but as he hasn't had time to get back to addressing the networking issue, we haven't really looked into that as a possible cause of some (or all?) of the problems. What do you clever people think? | karent (5222) | ||
| 230237 | 2004-04-29 22:50:00 | All PC's must be in the same workgroup. Rename the "workgroup" one to "teepee", as "workgroup" is just the default MS allocated name. And I won't ask.... |

| 230238 | 2004-04-29 22:52:00 | they all must have the same workgroup name. Possibly the cause of most of your problems! I won't ask, either ;) |

| 230239 | 2004-04-29 23:06:00 | Will we end up with two teepees, or will one over-write the other? :) | karent (5222) | ||
| 230240 | 2004-04-29 23:11:00 | you should have 3 teepee's . A nice little camp fire And some horses contentedly sitting nearby . Think of "teepee" as the village that all your computers sit in, so their address is 'teepee' . Each computer has its own individual name, but they all live in the teepee village . So that when they need to communicate with each other, they know to look in their village, rather than looking to the next village, called "workgroup" - where, the dastardly cowboy Wild Bill Gates lives . They don't want to go there . J :D |

| 230243 | 2004-04-30 00:20:00 | PS You forgot the bag of marshmellows to toast on the campfire while we all sit outside the teepees discussing this problem. :D | Fire-and-Ice (3910) | ||
| 230244 | 2004-04-30 00:22:00 | Mine is XP Pro, yes. I have never entered anything in the Domain name part though, :) J aka Big Chief Running Water (heavy rain and floods here :( ) |

| 230245 | 2004-04-30 01:34:00 | Xp home cannot be part of a domain. and yes all pc's must be in the same workgroup (or village) good one Jester lol. :^O :^O I don't think that will be all your problems as you should still be able to ping the router's ip address 192.168.0.1 but I'll keep my fingers crossed |
