Thanks for all the help with my las

[Guest_imported]

Thanks for all the help with my last problem, but it is still present and has developed further. Here's a recap:
My cousins computer, my computer and two others are on a 10baseT network. We all run Windows ME, and most have Athlons. In my network places, I can see all four computers on the network, but whenevr I try to logon to my cousins, lets call it Carrera, it returns an error message saying, "Athlon 1 GHz is not accessible. Please check the computer or share name..." From Carrera, in My Network Places, we can only see the computer name of Carrera itself, and no others. Please help, I want to play Quake III with them before the Xmas holidays are up.
We all use realtek 8029 cards with ME drivers, and we all have the correct protocols and clients installed; TCP/IP, IPX, Client for Microsoft Networks.
Cheers, JD.

It sounds like a problem with the network card on Carrera. Once that computer has been seen, it will stay in the available computers file for some time. And even tho it shows as there, your computer can't talk to it.
Network cards are funny. (except when you are trying to resolve problems with them) There are some flaky problems when you mix manufacturers. And some allow you to change timing depending on the speed of the processor.
So the questions, are they the same mfgr? Have you run setup on the card? Does the setup for the card match the windows setup?

If you can connect to all but one, is that one plugged into Port #1 on your hub? Does your hub have a uplink port? are you also using it?

If you have a uplink port and are using it, normally you can't also use port #1. ( uplink is just port #1 crosswired)

Many people use the uplink port for there broadband modem, then they have a LAN party, and find out they can't use one PC ( the one plugged into port #1 )

Hope I helped
