| 160025 | 2003-07-25 10:12:00 | Chill. Sorry to be so slow getting back to you, could not get into PF1 till now. Have printed your 2 replies & started on the first one, the XP one. A problem tho. Start-control panel ok. But you say"Network Connections" my screen is multi choice. Network & Internet connections, then, Pick a task, 3 options & then pick a control panel Icon followed by 2 options. Which are you reffering to? Also have deleted all printers from both computers. Awaiting your rply PJ |

| 160026 | 2003-07-25 10:24:00 | Chill, Think i've got it. You were talking about the XTRA connection, Yes? PJ Going off line now. | Poppa John (284) | ||
| 160027 | 2003-07-25 11:12:00 | Chilling. Have done what you said in your 2 replies, hopefully correctly. The Dell 98se can access the internet as can the Sigma XP.The 98 "appears" to be able to access the Sigma XP, (not too sure about this yet). However if I XP ping 192.168.0.2 (the Dell?) it says "it is not recognised as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file". Ping from Dell using 192.168.0.1 Gives a reply as you said which scrolls accross the black window very quickly. Whats up Doc. No printers re-installed yet. PJ |

| 160028 | 2003-07-25 12:06:00 | Okay.. in your control panel, click over the left where it says "Switch to Classic View" :-) That may help for starters... If 98 can access the net when the XP machine is connected then they're networked fine, and shouldnt really need changing... is that right, 98 can access the web when the XP PC is connected?? If it CANT, then follow those steps If it CAN, then dont do it.. post back :-) Cheers Chill. |

| 160029 | 2003-07-25 21:13:00 | sounds like the xp machine can't find the ping command, like there is a path issue (which is a major pain these days with XP and all the system subdirectories). Maybe we need to copy ping.exe into the winnt\ directory? robo. |

| 160030 | 2003-07-25 23:41:00 | Chill. Have done the classic view thing, puts all in a list form. YES YES the 98 CAN access the net when the XP is on. However I don't think the 98 has FULL access to the XP C drive, but step at a time eh PJ |

| 160031 | 2003-07-25 23:45:00 | Robo. Hello again. I assume you have followed Chill's posts. what do you both suggest next. Can we concentrate on proving the " local network" first guys??. Then perhaps the two printers & then complete access to XP from 98. If you can spare the time , thanks. PJ | Poppa John (284) | ||
| 160032 | 2003-07-25 23:47:00 | Sounds more like networking has not been correctly configured - or the original OS installation has not been correctly installed. Or alternatively MS have included a major problem with XP networking configuration. |

| 160033 | 2003-07-26 00:05:00 | Two things I have just remembered. 1) Twice when working on the Dell 98 it asked for the 98 disc. When I put it in, it said file such & such not found, so I left it. 2) When we bought the Dell 2nd hand from the shop it did not have an OS. So we bought the 98se disc etc as well which they installed. But when we sorted thro all the bits & bits we noticed the disc packet was unopened. Asked the shop about this & they said they had installed 98se from their own M/c, but we had to buy a 98 disc to be legal. Would this have any bearing on anything? Should we re-install 98 from the disc we have? PJ |
