Post some details about OS/machines/cables etc and we should be able to help.

 

guessing windows 98 or me?
if so have you added file and print sharing and shared something?
You say you can't see anything, can you ping either pc?

 

Did email you what to do last night, got a reply saying it was delayed or something

Si

 

Si

His email addy in the post is incorrect if you used cut 'n paste

si

what I said was "if you used cut 'n paste"

try copying whats there & spell hotmail correctly

 

How can you mail someone "what to do" when there are no details of the problem ?

 

**** lol yeah i get you now

 

hi guys
thanks for bothering to answer
i have been away from the computer
for a few days,,to busy driving the sti8
anyway my e-mail address is scoobieblue@hotmail.com
here is the problem in full
i have a 1gb computer running windows me
i have another computer running windows 98
i have a cable between them both
the windows 98 machine can see the windows me
but the windows me machine doesnt see the windows 98 machine
i want to use the windows 98 as a internet access for
the g/f's daughter ...(sling her up in her room
so i can have some serious sex on the lounge floor)
the windows me machine is the one linked to the internet
and i am on ntl broadband..
i hope that is enough information
sorry if it aint but i am a user not an abuser
and computers arent my thing at all....
thanks in advance
my x wife used to work on a help desk and come home screaming at
all the idiots she had had to deal with all day
i now understand where she was coming from!!!

If the ME machine is on the net and you have a crossover cable betwean the 2, all you should need to do is enable Internet Connection Sharing on the ME machine and make sure the 98 machine is set to pick up an IP address via DHCP. Problem is I never liked ME and I can't remember how to enable ICS. I hope someone else on here can. I will have a search.

 

thanks for the quick reply
yes the ME machine is on the net
i have a cross over cable
but as for this "dhcp"stuff
whoosh!!!! ......lol
andy
i told you i was a ****

 

How does the ME machine connect to NTL ?

 

usb cable.......i think

 

OK, took a little while. I hope you have the ME CD. Goto "start" Settings" "Control Panel" "Add Remove Programs" A box will pop up, select "windows setup" Wait a while. Scroll down to "internet tools" highlight it and click details. You will see "Internet Connection Sharing" put a tick in the box and click OK several times. It will ask for the ME CD and then run through a setup wizard (you will need a blank Floppy disk) It will ask which network adapter you use for the Internet, select the USB Modem then it asks which network adapter connects the computers, select your network card. It will ask for a floppy disk at this point. After that click finish and reboot. Once it has rebooted run Winipcfg and see if you get 192.168.0.1, if so put the floppy in the 98 machine and run the .EXE .Try this and let me know what happens I have been doing it on a 98 machine but ICS is very similar on 98 and ME.

 

dont have the ME disk....came from pc world with ME
already on it.....knew they were a rip off!!!
andy

 

tried it anyway........it didnt ask me for a disk
but dont seem to have done anything at all

 

Where did it get to ?

 

when through windows set
had to go to communications to get to internet sharing
added it..it was already ticked though...
clicked ok twice...then it went back to control panel

 

Click "start" "Run" and type winipcfg. Do you get and IP address of 192.168.0.1 ?

 

but ...at the moment the windows 98 machine can see the
ME machine but not the other way round..
once the ME machine can see the 98 then i think it will
be ok,,,,hopefully

 

i will try that right now

 

there is no such number in any of the fields

 

What do you get ?

 

dns servers 194.168.4.100
icshare adapter 00-d0-59-e9-e4-f7
ip address 62.252.62.100
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
default gateway 62.252.62.254
dhcp 62.252.32.21

 

That is the Details of the USB modem not the network card. There is a dropdown box that lets you change to the network card in winipcfg. What IP does the network card have ?

 

opps silly me..i will look now

 

Good news is that ICS is running on your ME machine.

 

ok..i had to run up the other machine as it said media disconnected
i have the magic number...lol
you got a phone number...i can ring you
