| 160005 | 2003-07-17 10:14:00 | Susan B. Still no go. How do I turn the MS Personal Firewall off?. I notice I am not the only one having problems with networking. Which gives me heart. Whilst all indications are showing that the Sigma & Dell comps are on the same workgroup they will not talk to each other, Yet either will access the Net thro the Sigma. PJ | Poppa John (284) | ||
| 160006 | 2003-07-17 10:44:00 | Hi PJ Goto My Network Places View Network Connections Right click on the Network Connection (not the dial-up but the Network card one on XP) Click on Properties Click on the Advanced Tab Take the tick out of the firewall box at the top. OK back out Reboot to make sure it happens |

| 160007 | 2003-07-17 11:23:00 | Goddie. Did that exactly as you said The Firewall box was NOT, NOT ticked. ( I thought we were Protected!!!!!). However, neither was the "Internet Connection Sharing" box ticked. So I ticked it before backing out. Was that right or wrong? Still cannot print from the 98 to either printer nor the Sigma comp to the Epson on the 98 from the XP. Not doing very well am I. Have to go to bed now, Orders!!!.PJ |

| 160008 | 2003-07-17 20:46:00 | PJ You've got to do the basics, check the IP addresses, pinging, etc, so you can see what you can do. It establishes some facts before you go on. Report back. robo. |

| 160011 | 2003-07-18 00:16:00 | As mentioned above: type IPCONFIG <enter> It should tell you some IP details - you want the IP address in particular. The subnet is the first three parts of an IP address, so in 192.168.0.1 the subnet is 192.168.0. If the two PCs have something different in the first three bits, they aren't on the same subnet and can't see each other without some router in between (so it won't go). If IPCONFIG doesn't work on win98 machine, try winipcfg from Start, Run. IP basics come in very handy with home networking now. Next thing is to go to the command prompt and ping the IP address of the other machine: ping 192.168.0.1 <enter> If it replies, good, if it doesn't bad. The next thing is to ping the machines using their names - so if the win98 machine is called "bob" type : ping bob <enter> and see if that works too. This sounds tricky, but it isn't. robo. |

| 160012 | 2003-07-18 00:33:00 | Robo. Did that & got a whole screed of detail. How can I transfer it to "This" page for you to see? There is no Copy on the Ping page. PJ | Poppa John (284) | ||
| 160013 | 2003-07-18 00:42:00 | Probably just as easy to write down the three sets of numbers, unless you do an ALt-Prntscreen and email it or post it on the picF1 site. robo. |
