I'm setting up internet connection sharing (ICS) on two networked computers at a friends house (I just go done with Cisco sememsters 1,2,3,4).
2 Computers;
1 Computer XP running:
0 WinXP:Home edition
0 Netgear 100BaseTX NIC
0 Everything runs fine
1 Computer 98 running:
0 Win98 (NOT SE)
0 Netgear 100BaseTX NIC
0 PROBLEMS!
After they are networked, and have internel ip addresses (192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2 <not that it matters>), they are able to share files fine, and show up in network neighborhood fine.
I go to the Xp computer and ping google.com. I try to ping google.com from the 98 computer, but it gives me <<Unknown host google.com>>
So, I go to the XP machine, look at the IP that google.com transelated into, and go the 98 machine. I AM ABLE TO PING THE IP ADDRESS!!
I am able to repeat the above proccess for any website, being able to ping the ip from the 98 comp, but thats all. internet Explorer, VNC, Opera, Netscape, NOTHING can access the internet, even if I type in webserver)
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the NIC to no avail. I've also tried removing and reinstalling TCP/IP stack for the NIC, but still same problem.
XP home edition dosn't seem to have the SERVICES (or I can't find them) that XP PRO does <looking for the DNS service to make sure its running>
I should also mention that games will not network from the 98 one. In one game, U push the button <Create game>, and a window in the game comes up that says <initilizing network>, for 2 seconds, then <Releasing network> and does not create a network game. On the XP machine, setting up a game works fine.
I've tried restoring system windows files with the PFC, but still have the same problem.
Before reinstalling windows, I would like to see if anyone here has ANY hints/tips. PLEASE respond if you do.
PS They use quickbooks 99, and lost the CD for it. Since quickbooks99 DOES NOT work without entrys in the registry, I am unable to reinstall windows without messing them up. (unless reinstalling windows does not clean the registry)
