103831 2002-12-06 21:28:00 Windows98\P1000\Realteck network card.

I cannot "ping" any other computers on the network
I can ping myself i.e. 127.0.0.1
No other computers (4) can "ping" me
I _can_ share files and printers through ALL computers.
New network card does not help.

Finding the computers through the IP address is necessary

W98 and Realtek card has been reinstalled (several times!!!!)

Any thoughts

Derek

103832 2002-12-06 21:36:00 type "wipconfig" in command line and see what is the IP address on the machine and make sure you're not using any firewall that might have stop other machines accessing :) SKT174 (1319)
103833 2002-12-06 21:39:00 BTW 127.0.0.1 is a loopback adaptor .. you can ping 127.0.0.1 without a NIC being installed so when you said you can ping 127.0.0.1 it's not necessary your NIC's IP address :D

103834 2002-12-06 23:12:00 No prob with firewall and wipcfg shows correct IP address\

Thanx

103835 2002-12-06 23:16:00 Using 192.168.10.3 gives good loopback when pinging

The interesting thing is that using Windows Explorer on any other machine, I can access all drives and files on the faulty machine, and if necessary can transfer files.

However it is vital for all other machines to access purely by an IP address

103836 2002-12-06 23:32:00 What's the IP on other machines? Subnet Mask is all the same?

I think the reason Explorer can see or even copy files because it might have use other protocols instead of TCP/IP such as NetBeui...

103837 2002-12-06 23:41:00 subnet mask correct 255.255.255.0

ip address as quoted but2/3/4/5/6

Thanx

103838 2002-12-06 23:50:00 What about the firewalls on all the other PC's. Just because the one on yours is okay does not mean every other PC is. It works from either end. Big John (551)
103839 2002-12-07 00:37:00 Is TCP/IP installed as a protocol for that interface? Did you install it on a modem, but not on a network card? ;-) Graham L (2)
