Net work problem
I have recently bought a new computer and want to network
them with my other desk top and my laptop. My new machine is running XP home edition, my laptop is running ME, and my other desktop is running XP pro. My laptop and other desktop are fine, but my new system won't conect to them and I can't share the internet connection with the other two computers. I tried to run the home networking wizard again but I got an error message. I just want to be able to network all of my computers together and have them share the internet connection with my new computer. |

Net work problem
The basics for troubleshooting a
1. Make sure you have the same IP scheme (e.g. 192.168.0.x). 2. Make sure you have the same Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS IP addresses. 3. Make sure you can ping the other computer's IP address. If this fails, make sure you turn of XP's firewall. 4. Make sure you can ping the other computers by name. 5. Make sure you have the same workgroup name (watch for trailing spaces) 6. For troubleshooting purposes, turn off XP's and any other firewall software. You can always add more complexity after you get it working. 7. With XP, make sure you have the same username and password as the person logging onto the other computers. The default setting for XP Pro is to require a password for network access. 8. More details about how to network XP can be found at: http://www.onecomputerguy.com/networking/xp_network.htm 9. More details about how to troubleshoot TCP/IP networkcs can be found at: http://www.onecomputerguy.com/networking/trouble.htm 10. Apply the registry edit to fix the browsing delay from XP to Win9x computers http://www.onecomputerguy.com/window...rowsing_delay. There continues to be a lot of misinformation about needing NetBEUI or to changing the NetBIOS setting. You can ignore both. Installing NetBEUI to solve a networking problem will just mask a some underlying and potentially important misconfiguration with TCP/IP. The default NetBIOS setting works fine so there is no need to change that either. -- Bob Cerelli http://www.onecomputerguy.com "Mike" wrote in message ...

I once had the same problem. My problem was fixed when I installed NetBeui. Go to Control Panel and Network Connections. From the list of items your network card uses check to see if NetBeui is on there. I hope this helps.
