| 10843 | 2001-04-04 08:05:00 | hi Bill, you need to check the properties of each network card to ensure the settings are the same on both . control panel, network select the adaptor and click properties, advanced tab depending on the card and driver will depend on the options ,for a simple x over i would run full duplex ... ok restart after changing anything and if no different then we need to look at what network protocol you are using.My own preference is TCP/IP , assign each a unique IP address , say 192.168.1.1 and the other 192.168.1.2 make sure you have file and print sharing for microsoft networks as well , give the workgroup the same name , and presto it should work ! One thing i found with older machines also (bit drastic, but it cured a heap of probs) was to format and reinstall the OS on the older machine , guess it comes down to how patient you are . let me know if I can help further !
