| 82317 | 2002-09-23 10:19:00 | ive recently networked Athlon 1GHz under Win98SE OEM and Athlon XP 2000+ 1.6GHz under WinXP using a crossover cable. I manually configured the TCP/IP setting being 192.168.1.1 on the Win98 with a 192.168.1.2 as the gateway and a 192.168.1.2 on the WinXP with a 192.168.1.1 as the gateway. is this alright?? not really sure though i only experimented on these TCP/IP settings. now i wanted to share the internet on both computers. kep in my mind that im using a dial-up connection (56K). I'm gonna use the Win98 as the main internet server and the WinXP system just using the LAN settings as the internet source. How do i do this?? |

| 82319 | 2002-09-25 05:36:00 | Hi, it's very simple with XP. First delete all your network settings on both computers. Then run the Network Setup Wizard on the XP PC, make sure you select the option the connect to the internet via another computer on your network. Select the option to create a Network Setup Disk. Then run this on the Windows 98 PC, choosing the option to connect to the internet from this PC whilst allowing others users to connect through this PC. i can't remember the exact wording but I think that pretty much explains it for you. |

| 82320 | 2002-09-25 05:47:00 | Explaining IP addresses: Each computer has to have a unique number . (the 192 . 168 . 1 . x numbers you are using are a special set which can be used only inside local networks, so the numbers have to be unique inside your LAN) . A network has only one gateway . A gateway is a host which has two ports so that it can talk to the local network, and the outside world . It has one IP address by which it is known to the LAN, and another by which it is known to the Internet . The Internet IP address of your gateway host will be assigned (each login, usually) by your ISP . |

| 82321 | 2002-09-25 07:31:00 | I wouldn't mind knowing a solution to this too. I think wht he/she wants to do is have two PC's both with modems plugged into the phone line. If one PC is online, he wants to use the other as the client. That way, if someone is using one PC as a standalone machine on the net, and someone else boots the second machine, it can connect to the net no matter which machine was the first one. In other wods, is it possible to have two LAN profiles depending on which machine has dialled up so as not to have to disconnect the first machine and force it to reconnect through the second machine if the second machine is the gateway. Let me give you an example. My machine is the gateway to the net on the network. My flatmate connects through me whenever I am online. If I am not there, he dials up using his modem so as not to have to turn my PC on just to use the internet. If I come home and also want access, he has to disconnect and wait for me to connect so he can connect through me. it would be nice is I just logged onto the network as if I were the client and he the host on these occaisions and go through him. At other times, it would be the other way around. Solution??? G P |
