Q: I helped my friend set up its network on Saturday, and everything was good. Today we changed to TCP / IP instead of HES Netbeui likely messing about with ICS. However, his machine can connect to the net via a modem connected to it, his brother comp, the other computers on the network can not. The dials upward, then throws an error to say that the Server Type in the network connection (check im assuming that means dial-up, as Im trying to dial-up to determine), because it is not negotiaite a dial-up connection to the host computer with the Protocols. There is nothing out of the ordinary listed in its dial-up settings. In fact, all settings (dial-up and network) is identicle to the other PC, apart from the obvious changes for IP. Ive quadruple checked it and dont have an idea. Any ideas?
Incidentally, the network works fine, had a number of high qualty DFLW sessions: P
Also, this is all in Win98, but hes got Whistler Pro B1 too, and when his brothers were running PC does see the drives on the share, only My Documents etc . If you type the address in the network of naighbourhoud (eg c $ comp particularly for accessing the C drive) then it will go well, but there is no C or D etc. mentioned in the first quarter windows network. Ive set the appropriate permissions Whistler etc so his access to the account of his win98 PCs. He does come in, albeit with a twist: P Any thoughts on this too?
Thanks In Advance.

Re:$ signs in the name denote a hidden share. Therefore as far as Network Neighborhood is concerned, there are no shared drives (visible). Try doing a regular share on another folder and see what happens.

Re:The win98 LAN setup is completely fine, its when whistler is the OS thats loaded that its slightly wierd. The drives ARE shared (shared by default i beleive), and are accessible from the 2nd PC, but only if you type in the address in network neighbourhood on the other PC (win98 only) (e.g. \\compname\c$ will get the 'c' contents to show, but their is no actual 'c' drive letter folder in network neighbourhood ).
As for the dialup, its PPP, but like i said this doesnt appear to be anything ISP related as the first comp was setup in the exactly the same way and works fine with the lAN and a Modem. It would seem to be a little f*ckup on windoze part thats all.

Re:you have to share the drives to see them in Net. Neighborhood..
hopefully your ISP didn't start changing config's on you, just make sure (unless it's a Juno,and compuserve I think have different servers,) that it's PPP. most ISP's use DHCP (for dialup anyways) so choose server assigned IP, and you should be OK, honestly, unless someone knows if your ISP has some funky settings or not, you may just want to call their tech support, most ISP tech support have pretty mellow people @3AM, I learned a lot from them a couple years back.
Have fun and good luck…
