| 148738 | 2003-06-01 09:15:00 | Ahh but stu dont you always have to have one comp on before the other? At least i did and i found that rather annoying so i went back to static. I supose i could alter my gateway to do it but why bother? whats the need for DHCP in such a small Network? Anyway its probably easier, and it will eliminate the case of the DHCP svr not working properly :D But like me you probably like playing with stuff too? :D Admittidly DHCP and Static have their points but i think i'll stick with Static, as i dont have a roaming PC or anything that might be attached to more than 1 network. And yes i do like ":D"'s OT: what proggy did you use for DHCP? - always willing to learn. :D Cheers Patryn |

| 148739 | 2003-06-01 09:18:00 | Okay, Ive just called him, Seemed like a nice fella ;-) I know what its like to be in a rush to get some data transferred, dont give him such a hard time guys.. surely you've all had a time like that... Anyways, They're pinging each other.. I showed him howto make a new Admin account (Both PC's were auto-logging in), so both now use Identical Usernames/Passwords... And we're gonna get back to business after dinner ;-) DHCP is not needed right now, but its so damn easy.. Share a Dial-Up connection if there's a Modem (Even a fake one) and it sets up the PC's IP as 192.168.0.1 and gets DHCP going then too AFAIK.. Static IP's or not, wont make a rats difference if they are pinging each other.. Im going with it being a security issue. He said he'd disabled 'Simple File Sharing' so we'll see where things go from here :-) Just thought I'd post an update ;-) Cheers Chill. |

| 148740 | 2003-06-01 09:23:00 | Sorry James for OT your post: > Ahh but stu dont you always have to have one comp on > before the other? Nope, I can turn on mine (Win ME) & use it fine. ok, you have to have the gateway computer on if you want to acces the net or acces the other PC. > OT: what proggy did you use for DHCP? ?:| ?:| |

| 148741 | 2003-06-01 09:31:00 | Okay.. Had a stroke of genius here (Dont laugh, it is possible :p) Goto www.radmin.com Download Remote Administrator Use that puppy to transfer your files, completely bypassing Windows File Sharing! I'll talk to you on ICQ/MSN later about how to get it going, Its dead easy! Cheers Chill. |

| 148742 | 2003-06-01 10:28:00 | Chilling_Silently : Thanks alot man, but no luck. I plug the ethernet cable in and it say "No Connections" then I say connection to 192.168.0.X and it says it can't. This is getting REALLY inoying. XP has been soo good to me but now... this is not fair man. I am thinking of giving up (even though it will eat at me knowing that my computer isn't perfect ^_^), I do have a CDRW drive so.... it's just a pain spilting files and folders into 702mb pieces... | JamesStewart (874) | ||
| 148743 | 2003-06-01 10:29:00 | Stroke of genius.: He hasnt been playing with some of the services in xp? cause some of them can be a major problem if turned off (networking wise). OT: Oh well, i was playing with DCHP when i was just learning. Maybe I had some H/W faults. Who knows but i'll remem this. Cheers. * stills sticking to his trust static. :) |
Patryn999 (3748) | ||
| 148744 | 2003-06-01 10:31:00 | I have no idea what DCHP is, so I never have touched it :|. One thought. is there a way (with out reinstalling or reformatting windows) to wipe permissions and network setting and start at the begining, that would be fine for me :) | JamesStewart (874) | ||
| 148745 | 2003-06-01 11:08:00 | ok stick w/ static then. i personally would not wipe the hdd until i have tried other lan cards like more brandy ones. i have a generic 10BT card. since i bought i had to call M$ on technical support on a toll call (we outside Auckland) and got it to work. that was 1998. now we have jus dumped it and got a 3com one. all's fine. make sure u have something shared on each, loggin in ok, network card install ok, same workgroup defined, unique comp names defined, tcp/ip and netbeui installed as well as, MS networking, and printer/file installed under control panel --> networking. reboot each PC. they should be able to see themselves. should be able to see each other. crossover cable?? reboot a few more times.. according to Chill seems u should have the usernames sorted...... u should see urself on each PC. if you cannot see each other and seems all set up ok could be a naughty card. i personally have come across this issue. |

| 148746 | 2003-06-01 11:14:00 | this may be a dumb Q. but it is a crossover cable right?? or u using a straight cable via a HUB?? |
nomad (3693) | ||
| 148747 | 2003-06-01 22:18:00 | Nomad> Yes, I asked him to create two Admin accounts, same case and everything for username/pwd and then to try the default share of: \\PCname\C$\ and see what happened, only nothing did. So James, If they cant Ping, you're back to square one... They MUST ping first! If you wanna give me a ring later, feel free :-) Otherwise, post back Cheers Chill. |
