Hi all.
I am try6ing to install SAP MiniSAP on my Win2k Pro desktop. A relatively clean install with SP3, Goback, Norton SYstem Works and Firewall. I have a speedstream router which allows all 3 PCs in the office to access the Cox broadband connection. All works well. The error I get when I try to install this standalone SAP software indicates an inability to ping. I entered the command in the cmd window and it said it was not a recognized command. What is going on? It seems IP is working fine or I could not connect to the internet, right? However, I did notice that even though my Win2k and Wife's XP pro box are sharing files and in the same workgroup, I cannot access them from the other machines. Any ideas? This is really weird. It's as if IP is not working properly. I know the router is assigning IPs to each of them so Cox sees only one IP (the router). It is acting as a DHCP server.
Thanks!
