Solve : Networking DOS with XP? |
|
Answer» I have an old DOS 6.22 computer with a 3com Etherlink III network card. I want to network the computer so I can access the shares on my XP machines. I installed the microsoft network client 3.0 for DOS program. In one of the ini files I had to disable DHCP (never use it) and assign the computer an IP. When I REBOOTED, it tells me that I need to type a username and password. This is the part that is confusing me. My network does not have any domain servers, its just a simple windows XP workgroup. All I want to do is be able to access the network shares on the XP comp. I tried just leaving both USER and pass blank, but when I try to ping I can't access ANYTHING on the network.can you ping web sitesSorry it took so long for the reply. can you ping web sitesNo, it just says "the name can not be resolved". I found that the only thing I can ping SUCCESSFULLY is the router. But at least now I know the card isn't broken. So does anyone have any ideas?I just noticed that it can only ping the router if all the computers on the network are off. After I turned on this comp, it wasn't able to ping the router anymore. Correction: when I ping a site, it says "the node google.com can not be resolved."do you have dial up. Quote do you have dial up. no |
