I tried pinging from each machine and got no response. I
was able to ping other XP machines from my XP machine,
but couldn't ping anyone from the 2000 machine. Then I
tried setting up Static IP addresses, but I couldn't get
that working. The router was still assigning IP
addresses and I couldn't access the internet. I must be
missing a setting on my Linksys router. I tried
connecting via the LPT1 port with a printer cable, and
couldn't get that to work! I guess I'm getting dumber as
I get older! thanks for your help
