I Network Setup Wizard and the network assigned IP address of 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.3

What is the problem? Also can I go to both computers and share them, but the only things I can share the files and folders in the shared documents, even after I sharing and security settings changed.

are you confusing mbits with MByte/s?

even 100base t is kinda slow.

They are : 100BaseTX
100BaseTXFull_Duplex
10BaseT
10BaseTFull_Duplex
Auto_Config

I know that the 10BaseXXXX are 10mbps, but which one do I pick?

Thanks.

EDIT – It is on Auto

anyway, your card could be talking at half duplex instead of full.. check ur windows settings

Obviously everyone's advice about using a 192.168.x.x network will also work, but FYI microsoft already thought of just this case and the OS has a built in provision for it. You will need to enable file sharing or whatever, but you should be able to see one computer from the other via the network.

Assign static IPs on the same subnet, share the files on one machine, access the share from the other.

how do I "Assign static IPs on the same subnet" ??

sorry total noob here

Assuming your on xp, control panel> network connections> right click> open>internet protocol (TCP/IP)>properties>alternate configuration

what numbers should I use for the static IP??

Step #5 is the critical step that gives most people problems.

thanks everyone for your input…

AnandTech, FAQ – Where is NETBEUI in WinXP? (http://www.{$MySite}/guides/viewfaq.html?i=84)

FYI guy, the color of the cable has no real meaning as to whether it is a patch cable or crossover. Are you trying to use the same cable? If it is a different one, compare the ends and see of the colored wires are in the same order or different order. Look carefully because there will only be two wires different. If you are using the same one as before then it should work. It could have a crimp or break that would disrupt the communication. Look where the cable plugs into the NIC?s (Network Interface Card) and see if you little lights. If yes that?s a good sign. If no, then you need a new cable.

What OS are you running? Be sure that both computers have TCP/IP installed. If you have 98SE or above then leave it set to Obtain an IP address automatically. They will assign themselves an IP address. Be sure that you have both of them configured with the same workgroup name also.

Still doesn?t work. There are lots of other thinks to check? Post back and let me know how it goes?

This is a primer of the topic. The goal is to provide basic knowledge, and point in the right direction. Further reading of textbooks and similar sources, and actual experimenting can achieve comprehensive understanding. The primer covers the use of this hardware with Windows OS.

Option 1: Install Network Interface Card (NIC) in each computer (PCMCIA in the Laptop), and Connected them with CAT5 Crossover cable. (Cost about $25 between Desktops, $45 between Desktop to Laptop). You can connect at a speed 100Mb/sec.

Option 2: Mixed connection. If one computer has NIC) or you want to put one. Get an Ethernet to USB adaptor. You connect it with CAT 5 to your computer, and the adaptor goes to the USB port in the second computer (Cost about $15 more then open 1). BTW: regardless of what they say it is Max 10Mb/sec connection).

Example: EZ CONNECT COMPACT USB 10/100 CONVERTER. (http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=10315385&hdwt=30701&loc=101)

Option 3: Get a USB Direct Connect Module (this is a USB cable that has a special Network module installed on it).

Connect the two computers through the USB; install the Drivers, and your are Connected. This type of connection supports only the speed allowed by USB.

Example:

6FT USB FILE TRANSFER AND NETWORKING CABLE. (http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=10258088&hdwt=30506&loc=101)

This will cost about $40-$50

The connection is restricted by the Max distance allowed for USB cables. If the two computers, are in two different rooms you will have to resort to other solution.

Important, do not connect two computers with regular USB cable, such a connection may result in frying your computer's Motherboard.

Option 4: Direct Cable Connection, uses printer parallel cable, or COM serial cable. The most inexpensive, but the slowest, and most awkward. (Cost about $10).

You can find settings info here:
Direct Cable Connection. (http://www.wown.info/j_helmig/dccmain.htm)

Option 5: Wireless Ad-hoc connection.

The wireless option is similar to option 1. However it can be done without the connecting CAT5 cable.

Two Wireless cards can converse adequately. Most cards' software let you choose between Infra Structure, and Ad-Hoc Mode.

Infrastructure = Card to Access Point.

Ad-Hoc = Card to Card.

For a Laptop you get a plug-in PCMCIA card.

For Desktop, you need either a PCMCIA card with PCI Adaptor (extra $40), or a USB client Card. Either of these cards has to of good quality to maintain a reliable connection.

The easiest – Option 3
The Cheapest – Option 4
The practical – Option 2
The fastest with elegant look for the future – Option
The most expensive, but "Very Cool" – Option 5

Connect your broadband modem into the WAN port of one of them, and then connect a LAN port of that router into the WAN port of the other router.

If you want to have a single wireless network, then you need to configure only one of them to have the wireless capability. The wireless radio for the other should be turned off. Also make sure that only the first one (the one connected to the broadband router) has DHCP enabled.

If you want to run two different wireless networks, then connect them as above, but make sure the wireless radio is on for both. One would have an IP address of 192.168.0.1 and the other could be 192.168.1.1. (To keep the network segregated.) Both would run DHCP for their respective networks. You would then set the router furthest from the modem to allow connectivity through the WAN.

If you wanted one to be open and one to be secure, then make the one closest to the modem the open one. This will allow you to secure the "outer" router and seperate it from the "inner" router.

guy

Thanks

I should be able to configure my Net Gear & D-Link routers in a similar way.

I plan to reassign D-Link router IP to 192.168.55.1 and disable DHCP. Net Gear RP114 will be accessing WAN/internet and D-Link DI-713P will be essentially a switch, wireless access point and print server. I prefer to use Net Gear to access internet since it has "keyword blocking" feature to deter my kid's friends from accessing certain sites inappropriate for kids. Will connect D-Link WAN port using a straight patch cable into LAN port on the Net Gear. Has anyone tried this and do they know if it will work?

guy

You probably are better off replacing the Linksys with the D-Link. This way the Wireless part will be connected directly to the Router. Disable DHCP on the Linksys, and connect the Uplink of the Linksys to one of the regular ports on the D-Link.

What you get is a D-link Wireless, and 5 free RJ-ports (2 on the D-Link, three on the Linksys). Linksys WAN port stays empty.

Just in case CAT5 connections here:

CAT5 Straight, Crossover. What is CAT5, which one should I Use? (http://www.{$MySite}/guides/viewfaq.html?i=91)

guy

However, I have the feeling that your are trying an inappropriate setting. I.E connecting the WAN port to a Regular port on a Router that gets its connection from a WAN port.

If you want to expand the network you can use the second Router as a Switch, you don?t need the Routing, and DHCP settings.

Hard set the speeds on both machines. Start with 10 meg/half duplex and work your way up from there.

Check the NIC properties on both machines (not protocol, the hardware), and make sure the speed & duplex agree. Also look in the "advanced" sections, if they're there, and make sure everything advanced is unchecked/deselected.

That's about the only thing left…..

FWIW

Scott

the year is 2001, thou shalt not use homemade cables.:)

<edit> Byt the way, HERE'S (http://duxcw.com/digest/Howto/network/cable/cable5.htm) the diagram (and tutorial) I've been using…I've done 2 cables so far, and neither worked…This can't be this hard !?!?</edit>

If both ends are the same, then it's a straight-through cable. If the wires are arranged any differently, then I would get or make a new cable (depending on whether or not you have the crimp tool and RJ-45 connectors).

Oh yeah, and if the cable is wired correctly, but the link lights still aren't on, then you have a bad cable… best bet would be to replace the cable with another crossover cable and try it again.

JW

viz

check your cable. It must be a crossovercable in order to work. You need to have solid green link lights on each card.

Now I feel really dumb, getting advice about networking from the plumber

Check those questions first.

whyen I ping 127.0.0.1, all seems fine, no packet loss, and 0 ping time…but no lights on the NIC…what's that mean? I've installed a new network adapter, and still no lights. Any ideas?

Never could get a resolution.

First Suspect is the crossover, especially if home made.
See if you can borrow a hub/switch and a known couple of known good cables for an hour from a friend.

Good Luck

Thanks much
RYan soooooo right

Up until very recently, crossover cables were all homemade. In the lab, I still look twice at a crossover.
Tech support has a very valid concern, backed up with real world experience.
However, the PC nic's can't tell the difference. Lots of people do it every day.
On the other hand, if it doesn't work, its time to borrow a hub or switch to see if its the PC's or the cable.

Good Luck;

Doug

What do you think?

Ryan

Here's what I did, on the Control Panel I went to Network, went to the TCP/IP->Linksys LNE Card Properties

On the comp I want to be the client:

Specify IP
—-192.168.0.2
—-255.255.255.0

WINS Disabled

Gateway 192.168.0.1

DNS Disabled

Bindings: Client for Microsoft Network/File Print Sharing

Advanced: Property-None……Set Protocol to Default is checked

————————————————————-

The other one is the same, except the IP is 192.168.0.1

Here you can find setup info:

did you assign ip address to each card ? can you ping each machine ie

1. On the downstairs router, find out what the DHCP server settings are. Typically they will be something like 192.168.1.100 to 150
Write that down and write down the address of the router

2. On the upstairs router
disconnect the router from the downstairs router
access the router using a cable
make these changes to the router setup:
1. Give the router a new IP address It needs to be on the same network as the downstairs router but using an address that does not conflict
so your downstairs router has an address of 192.168.1.1
it has a DHCP pool setting of 192.168.1.100 to 150
set the upstairs router to an address of 192.168.1.10
2. Turn off the DHCP server for the router
save your settings

Now plug the router back in and restart all machines
Your upstairs router is now part of the downstairs network. Your downstairs router will now assign and control the IP addresses for the upstairs devices

Your good to go

Put the Computer in on one regular port, and set the working Wireless Network between the tow computers.

The ability to see the Router from the Laptop, means that there is a working signal not necessarily a working Network.

Once you have a working Network connect the Dorm jack to a third regular port, and check if the Laptop get a working IP that is part of the dorm IP band.

Without thinking it all the way through, I recently jumped on a hot deal for the MR814. The plan was to install it (or the MR314) on the other side of my home in a room wired for CAT5 and use it as another WAP to improve the wireless coverage. Wasn't until I started to actually plan out the install that I began to wonder if I could uplink either unit and use it strictly as a switch with a WAP. Haven't done anything, yet (busy with the holiday) but wanted to make sure this will work before I start to setting it up.

Thanks in advance.

In order to use two computers surfing the Internet, you need two either two static IPs, or a Router (in a setting that accept a Router).

Other wise you have to put two NICs in your wired computer, connect one to the dorm Net, and the other to a regular port on your Router, disable DHCP in the Router, and install software NAT (ICS) on the all computers.

So far I have tried following.

1. Several NICs.
2. Several PCI slots.
3. Different network speeds (100 and 10 / 2 and full duplex)

I have no idea what the problem could be. I have setup more complicated networks than those without problems, I doubt this is a case of user error. Anyway, heres some more info that could be assistance.

Main PC
Athlon 1600 977 503 Epox 8KHA `+ KT266A (latest BIOS)

ISDN 64Kbps Internet Connection

Second PC
Duron 1000
Asus A7A266 Ali Magik 1 (Do not use the latest BIOS)-Link DFE-538TX
D 10/100 NIC (using the drivers for it)

Thank you in advance.

Years ago I remember having problems with pauses/freezes on some relatives Shuttle boards and nearly any NIC we tried. We only tried four NIC's: 2 older ISA NE2000 compatibles, an unknown Maxtech brand 10/100, and NetGear 10/100. Every NIC with this particular motherboard (2 different boards) had the same problems in Windows — small pauses or freezes while playing games and the same while working with other apps, though this was less noticeable unless the system was under heavy use. (Windows 95/98 were used.)

The aforementioned motherboards by Shuttle were Pentium boards with Intel chipsets. When I tried my Intel 100B Pro NIC in either board, the pausing/freezing stopped. When I bought other Intel NIC's, and tried them in the Shuttle board, the problem was still gone, but if I retried any other NIC, the problems recurred.

Just a thought.

Good Luck

Scott

I system (sometimes boot in win98) and I just built my second box of redhat7.

Ive got 2 NICs and a crossover cable. Physically they are functional. I ping eaches respective static IPs 0.

I want to be able to easily share files.

Also if its possible, ICS internat would be great. My 2000 box has the modem, and the ISA, so I can not switch to another box.

ANy help would be apreciated. Remember, Im a newbie bigtime. I did a search and found a post, but it was so my head.

Thanks

So, one more time:

mount -t smbfs -o username=windowsuser,password=windowspassword //windowspc/windowsshare /mountpoint/mountpoint

That should work just fine.

it will ask for your password, type your password. After it has asked you for your password, the rest of your session you will not need to enter a password again. Not bad, and safer than SU or logging in as root.

Jim

or
smbmount //IP ADDRESS OF SERVER/C (or share name)/mnt/mountdir (or directory of your choice) -I -user username -password password

when under win9x
smbmount //servername/c (or share name) /mnt/mntdir (or directory of your choice) -password password
or
smbmount //IP ADDRESS OF SERVER/c (or share name) /mnt/mntdir -I -password password
NOTE: you need to have a directory you wish to mount your remote system, I created a dir under /mnt called misc.

Also, a good admin utillity, not sure if its in RH7, is webmin. If its not included in RH7, go download it off freshmeat. This is the, in my opinion, easiest way to set up a samba server on Linux. Once you have samba set up, you can browse the Linux shares with windows explorer.

Jim

I had to use uid instead of username, but it still isn't working

session request to 192.168.0.20 failed
session setup failed: ERRDOS – ERRnoaccess (Access Denied.)
SMB connection failed.

I'm downloading samba, but i don't know how I'm going to get it over to my linux box.

Also, you could run something like PCNFS or Microsoft's Services for UNIX on your Win2k box and mount an NFS share that resides on your Windows box. I think the Samba share is probably the easiest tho.

Alternatively, you can mount an SMB share with the mount command or go to Freshmeat.net (http://www.freshmeat.net) and grab an app like Komba to mount Windows shares. It browses your Windows networks with ease and lets you mount Windows shares very easily. It just takes a little configuration on your part.

If you want to use the mount command, just type this from your terminal.

mount -t smbfs -o username=USERNAME,password=PASSWORD //Wincomputername/sharename /mountpoint/mountpoint

Sharing connections is really easy too. All you need to do is configure either some proxy or NAT software on the Windows box and then go to your Linux box and point to the IP address of your Windows box as your network gateway. I believe netcfg or Linuxconf should let you do this.

Put the working cdrom in the computer with the broken cdrom. Download XP Or Better yet Buy it.

Then put it back into the computer you want to put xp on.

When you restart, you will be asked for a username and password, just leave the password blank and you will not be asked the next time. You will have to do this on both computers, just press enter to get into windows.

And I would definitely get rid of IPX/SPX… especially if you've got TCP/IP installed. They might be conflicting with each other, and TCP/IP is easier to troubleshoot (in my opinion) than IPX/SPX. But that could be just because I have more experience with TCP/IP.

What operating systems are you using on the two computers? Can you ping the other computer from the other one? To find out you need to get the IP addresses of the computers.

In Windows 95/98 type in the run line: winipconfig
Then select your ethernet card and make sure that it is getting an IP address.

In Windows 2000 type &quot;cmd&quot; in the run line.
At the DOS prompt type in ipconfig /all
Makes sure that there's an IP address listed.

You can also open up the DOS prompts on the machines and type in &quot;ping (the name of the computer)&quot; This will let you know whether or not the computer can &quot;see&quot; the other. Also have it ping itself… that will let you know whether or not the ethernet card in the computer is working properly.

It would really help to know what your operating system is as well as if you're trying to share an internet connection, or just want the ocmputers to see each other on the network.

Take out the IPX/SPX junk. You don't need it with TCP/IP. Make sure the link lights are on on both NICs. What operating system are you running? Can you ping either computer? Make sure they don't have the same computer name. Some more information would help a lot. >>

Nah… remove the TCP/IP junk, make sure the frame type is locked to 802.2 on both PC's, and share the drives you want.

thread (http://{$MySite}/messageview.cfm?catid=36&amp;threadid=462550)

What operating systems are you using?

good luck:)

I'm not sure how good it is, though.

Edit:

&quot;In Windows Explorer, right-click the name of the disk (or folder, or printer) that you want to share, then select Sharing from the menu. That brings up the Sharing tab in the disk's (or printer's) Properties dialog box, where you can specify what access you want others to have. &quot;

Did you do that?

In the meantime, do you have an IPX or TCP/IP protocol installed?
