This is quite interesting. I got it all configured and everything, firewall is disabled on the 2nd NIC which 95 is on and I cant seem to get them to network.

Hell, I cant even ping.

Once again, give ideas that are actualy usefull, dont tell me go to go install Windows XP :-P

Both are using static IP Address's one being 192.168.2.200 and the other 192.168.1.201

    hmmm, i had that smwe problem. Are you using a router /hub or a Corssover cable? Is the drivers working?
  • IBMWarpsterIBMWarpster
    Crossover cable

    Cant be the cable because I already tried 2 extras.

    Drivers are working just fine

    Umm... are you entering the XP's IP as the gateway in the 95?
  • IBMWarpsterIBMWarpster
    nevermind, I got it.

    I dont know what was wrong, I didnt change anything, I just turned it on and started working.

    I just made a network bridge and ready for it to run.

    Hmm.... oh well.

    OK those IPs will NOT work if they're Class C.

    Make on 192.168.1.x and the other 192.168.1.y. If you're using 192.168.z.z the 3rd octet (The 1 in the example above) MUST match on all machines on that segment.

    I was going to say that, but thought I was wrong and would get an inflammatory response.
  • IBMWarpsterIBMWarpster
    Ooohh.

    I tought they just had to have the same last #'s.
  • QQ
    IN 192.168.x.y netwks, the 1st 3 have to be the same.

    EDIT, In my first post, Its 192.168.1.201 and 192.168.1.200. NOT 2.200!

    PS: Its still not working right. My 95 box can ping the XP box, but XP cant ping 95.

    95 and XP cant see each other in the network nieghborhood.

    I even go like \\192.168.1.200 and that wont work either.

    I have that same problem in my network, um all I can say is disable ur firewalls on both computers and see if that works, it happened to me, but I reconfigured the firewell to allow all IPs within 192.168.1.* (well that is mine)
  • QQ
    \\%SERVERIP% is only if you have filesharing. If you can't ping, there's NO way that'll work.

    I already disabled the firewall :-P

    I checked over EVERYTHING. Its setup JUST like my 2000 box which used to have 2 NICs. .

    ITs not the cable or NIC becuase once I turn on network bridge, I can see my LAN, BUT I cant connect to the XP machines proxy server, so Im not gonna use Network Bridge
