| 160056 | 2003-07-26 11:02:00 | Bugger! Basically, they're connected, the cables working fine, hardware is fine etc, but the Settings are not right :-( They're connected, but not Networked IYKWIM!! I would suggest you try what I suggested on my first post, about network settings for WinXP and Win98... However, somebody else may have some other ideas to try? There's also the PressF1 FAQ on Networking :-) I wouldnt go changing the settings just yet... wait for somebody else here to say that they agree its a good idea to go ahead with it. Then, I would recommend you set a system restore point on the WinXP system! Good luck! Cheers Chill. (As an after thought... for a 3rd person to comment on.. Would it be wise to un-install and re-install TCP/IP on both PC's... but bearing in mind that removing it would also kill the net connection until it's re-installed.. which would be immediately no doubt :-)) |

| 160057 | 2003-07-26 13:58:00 | Being rather PC challenged I'd just like to say how impressed I am with your persistence PJ and the diligence of Chill and Stu and the others. I'm going to save this post so I can better understand. Cheers to all of you. GO THE ALL BLACKS. Winston001 |

| 160059 | 2003-07-27 06:31:00 | Good news, Success, success. It's working again!!!!!!! Thankyou to everybody for your Help & Commiserations. Especially to Chill, Stu & Robo. Both computers can access the internet, both can use the Canon printer on the XP, will not try & instal the Epson as well. The 98 can fully access the XP (so far). So what happened? After Chill's last reply last night, I sat back & thought about it all. We were missing the LAN connection from 98 to XP. I thought I would try the XP setup Wizard again, put in the original cd, selected "setup a network" & ran it. I got to the window that asks "what do you want to do now" Four options. One of them was make a floppy disc to put in the other computer (which we had done). Another choice was to "Use the original CD in the other computer". I decided to do the second one. Ran the CD in the 98, followed the instructions, & Lo & Behold everything "Came Right. However, due to your patience, I went through a huge "learning curve" and attempted things I'd never tried on the computers before. Maryann kept out of the way, as it was a danger zone with me hurtling across the floor, from one side of the room to the other, from XP to 98...back...and off again. Your patience was remarkable, Chill, and we think you must have had LOL as we went through it all. You guys are really great with all the knowledge you have, and share. Hope you can earn MEGA dollars in the future. Once again Thankyou all PJ & M. Perhaps this Saga should be added to the appropriate FAQ?? Poppa John :D :D :D |

| 160060 | 2003-07-27 06:51:00 | Well done PJ ! :) I think this thread sums up what PF1 is all about, helping others and a willingness to follow the advice offered, however many posts it takes. Great effort Chill, Stu, Robo and all those others who offered advice :) >Perhaps this Saga should be added to the appropriate FAQ?? :O what! And scare off anyone mildy comtemplating networking their PC's <just joking :D> |

| 160062 | 2003-07-27 07:10:00 | That is fantastic Poppa John, well done!! :-) See, I told you it was something really simple, didn't I? :p :D > Perhaps this Saga should be added to the appropriate FAQ?? Yep, I reckon it should, along with the link to my own saga. You had me on the edge of my seat for a while, thinking that you were going to outdo my record number of posts to get the network working! :p :D |

| 160063 | 2003-07-28 00:00:00 | Well, that is great to hear PJ! I was really hoping you wouldnt have to join Susan in formatting either PC's ;-) I agree that it may be a good idea to link to this thread and Susan's, unless we keep in mind the name of the thread for reference! So what have you done for user accounts? Are you logging on with an account that is on both PC's (Even if it isnt active, but still exists)? Im glad you got it done, and yes, Networking certainly is a huge learning curve... And you certainly were more persistant than most, and sticking with it paid off! Here's to hoping your PC's dont crash and burn any time soon and we start a related thread all over again, lol! ;-) All in a days work... :p Cheers Chill. |
