Thank for your reply. I send you a capture of ipconfig:
So far there're two machines: the one I'm writing this (winXP), and this
other
machine that cannot get connected. As I said before, if I install winXP on
that machine, the card works perfectly. I just installed service pack 4,
without
any result...
Here are the contents of ipconfig / all (translated to english the best I
could):
Hostname . . . . . . . . . : xyz
Main DNS suffix . . . . . . :
Node type . . . . . . . . . . : Broadcast
Routing enabled . . . . .: No
WINS Proxy enabled. . . . . : No
Description. . . . . . . . . . . : Conceptronic 54g
Physical address. . . . . . . . . : 00-0F-xx-xx-xx-xx
DHCP enabled. . . . . . . . . : No
IP address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.100
Netmask . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Gateway : 192.168.1.1
DNS servers . . . . . . . . . .: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (both valid dns server
addresses)
Still don't know what to do :-(
Is the "broadcast" node type correct? In the other machine (winXP) I get
an "unknown" node type...
I aso installed service pack 4 just in case, but no improvements were made.
The report seems to be fine. I assign static ip addresses in my lan, the gw
address is correct, etc...
Maybe there's an issue with the card, that is not supported in w2k but
it is in winXP?
One further detail: if I make a ping 127.0.0.1, the everything is fine,
but doing ping 192.168.1.100 (the ip assigned by me) then I get
a "host unreachable" error...
Any help is really appreciated. If you need further details, let me know.
TIA.
