TCP/IP on Windows NT 1

[ASheriff]

Hi,

I am not able to ping to the localhost, I think the network software on my NT is not installed. I believe I should be atleast able to ping to the loopback adapter, on 127.0.0.1 even if my machine is a stand-alone. Do do I need to install some service pack, at the moment I have SP5. Any help on this would be appreciated.

Regards,

Aejaz

You need to install the TCP-Protocol and to add the basic TCP-Services in the Network part of Setup.

Take care if you have a Firwall installed it may block the ICMP-Packages

Hi, Thanks for the response, but could you please tell me where from could get the TCP/IP Protocol to install on my NT box.I think I should be able to manage to configure the network properties once I get TCP/IP suite in place

Thanks,

Aejaz

You have to an Administrator.
Go to Systemsetup/Network/protocol and add the protocol TCP/IP

Sorry I do not have an english Version. The names might be a little different there.

Happy Christmas!

Sorry I forgot: Go to the services Menu (Networks) and add "Basic TCP/IP-Services"

Right-click the Network Neighborhood icon on the desktop, select "Properties" from the menu. Click the "Protocols" tab. Id TCP/IP is not listed, click "Add", select "Microsoft" and choose "TCP/IP". You will need access to the NT CD-Rom. No additional services are needed unless you need to host a TCP/IP printer or something like that. You will also need a valid TCP/IP Address, subnet mast and default gateway. If you are going to be on the Internet, you will also need DNS server addresses. On a corporate network, most times you will let all of the addressing information happen automatically (DHCP).

Good luck... ;-)
