| 420052 | 2006-01-11 02:27:00 | I just went to network my computers after doing a windows 98 reinstall some months ago, after finding network.txt on my computer, a text copy from pressF1 faq some kind member here wrote. (not sure were it is now I could not find it a few moments ago) Just some notes: At first I had trouble getting to see the "local" computer (in the one I was fixing) in the "Network Neighborhood" folder from the icon on the desktop, all it showed was "Entire Network" (not sure what I did to fix that) Then I found that to see the other computer I had to install NetBEUI (Protocol), as the other computer already had it, I did not install IPX/SPX. but found I could not do a "ping 192168.0.2" it came up with bad command or file name |

| 420054 | 2006-01-11 02:40:00 | you didnt mention that both pcs are win98 ?.........anyway...if one is xp you'd hav to install netbuei also as it's not installed by default...... | drcspy (146) | ||
| 420055 | 2006-01-11 02:55:00 | "Bad command or filename" means the PC can't find ping.exe, otherwise you'd get "could not find host." Ping.exe is in the "C:\WINDOWS\system32" directory typically. try "CD C:\WINDOWS\system32" then the ping It's probably your PATH environment variable messed up. I can't remember where you fix this in Win98. |

| 420056 | 2006-01-11 03:01:00 | if one is xp you'd hav to install netbuei also as it's not installed by default...... I don't believe a PC running netbuei only would respond to a ping, because it's a different protocol. Typically I'd install TCP/IP on all PC's, to get Internet connectivity. |

| 420057 | 2006-01-11 04:40:00 | yep tcp/ip for internet but for networkign 98 one of the easiest protocols is netbuei....so it'd have to be installed on both machines | drcspy (146) | ||

As for the quote marks, the instructions from pressf1 web site was ......... oh bugger, I am sure yesterday it read the reverse. it has been a few years since I last did it Both computer are windows 98se. The reason I think the text came from pressF1 web site it says ...... If not, then you may have to post a specific question to the PressF1 site. |
