I’s gotten worse. The W 2k/PRO now is not talking to the W xp. Here are
troubleshooting that I have done but still the issue remains:
1) Checked and swapped cabling. 2) Swapped ports on switch. 3) Bypassed the
switch - used a x-over cable to direct connect to each pc from another…the W
2K and W 98 boxes are talking and only W 98 box can talk to the W xp box. The
W xp cannot see or talk to other’s. 4) Swapped IP’s. They are in the same
workgroup, different names. 5) I disabled the Computer Browser from the W98
box. Did the same for the W 2K box (but put it back – works better with it).
6) I set up the W xp network setup wizard for each box (except the W 2K box
does not accept it). The switch is a NetGear, Model# FS608 100/10 Mbps. Below
I copped and pasted the ping command from each pc as you requested. I’m
stumped.
Quick Summary:
W xp = POPPA1, W 2K = POPPA2, W 98 = POPPA3
168.192.1.100 168.192.1.198 168.192.1.199
all subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 workgroup: OFFICE
W xp - cant see or access to other pc's in the network.
W 2K - can see both pc's can only access W 98
W 98 - can access both pc's
