8437 2001-02-07 08:08:00 I have two pcs each running win98se. They both have HP Netserver 10/100tx PCI lan cards installed. Under networking I have the correct adapter installed, and it's bound to the tcp/ip protocol. The machines are linked via a cross over cable. The wiring is proven as I can get networking running between both under NetBEUI but not tcp/ip.

I have set up defined IP addreses under a subnet of 255.255.255.0 both boxes run unique ip addreses 190.10.10.10 and 190.10.10.20 which i thought would work.

Help what am I missing with this protocol ? I'm new to tcp/ip but i'm sure the setup on each box is casuing the networking to fail. I'm sure it will be something simple - correction - I hope it will be !

Cheers,

Paul

In the interim make sure that both network cards are running at the same speed and duplex - Start Settings Control Panel Network. Should be all ok if netbeui works.

Or use the config software that came with cards to check that.

If all else fails then configure to 10 Mps Half Duplex and change IP address to 192.168.1.1 255.255.0.0 and
192.168.1.2 255.255.0.0 (text book examples)

Hope this is of some help.

P.S. For home networks of two machines netbeui is the fastest protocol but most games etc need tcp/ip.
