Re: Problem after using Network Setup Wizard

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Maurice,

I am unsure what the problem is. Are you trying to get file and
printer sharing to work between your two computers? Are you having
problems accessing the Internet, or is this working properly? I take
it that "HomeOffice" is the name of the workgroup on each computer. Is
this correct? Pinging the address assigned to the computer itself
doesn't really tell you much. Pinging the respective client computers
would be more helpful. So, for example, from computer A try pinging
computer B and from computer B try pinging computer A. What are the
results of this test?

Thank you, Vincent, for your very prompt reply. I hadn't thought of
connecting the way you suggest, as the Netopia 3341 installation manual says
nothing about using it this way.
I've connected it this way now, and set up the network again without ICS.
However, I still get the same error messages as stated in my first message
below. I am pinging with the new (now DHPC assigned) Ethernet LAN card
address. (Pinging works fine with the default gateway address for the Netopia
3341 site, assigned automatically).
Any ideas?

The device you are referring to (Netopia 3341) is indeed a router. I
would not recommend using ICS to share the Internet connection. The
connection diagram should be as follows:

modem---netopia 3341---hub---computer 1
|
computer 2

The DHCP service on the router should be able to assign a unique IP
address to each computer.

Help!
After apparently setting up a small network successfully on my PC, under
Administrator profile, I get the following error message when I click on the
network name ('Homeoffice') within My Network Places:
<Homeoffice is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this
network resource etc....>.
I also get <Request timed out> messages when I ping the Ethernet network
adaptor IP address.

Background info: Dell Dimension P4 2.4Ghz 1Gb RAM, XP Pro SP2; Cayman
Netopia 3341 network adaptor (not router) using USB connection to PC; this PC
as ICS computer for network. A second PC shows works fine after setting a
mathcing 'Homeoffice' network i.e. no error message when I click on the
network name ('Homeoffice') within My Network Places on this PC (shows this
PC only, although both PCs are connected through an Ethernet hub separate
from the Internet network adaptor mentioned above), and pings correctly.
