I am trying to set up a small home network which will allow all computers on the network to access the internet. I have two computers connected to a Zonet 8 port hub (if successful networking these, I want to network 3 more). I have DirecWay Satellite Internet which connects to my computer via USB connection.
My primary PC is using Win XP Pro. The second PC is using Win98SE. Ok…I have run the Home Networking Wizard on both machines. On the 98SE machine, I simply put in the WinXP CD and ranthe same wizard via CD.
I have named the workgroup HOME. I have set up the IP address on the XP computer as 192.168.0.1 and the subnet mask as 255.255.255.0. On the 98SE computer, I have the IP address as 192.168.0.2 and the subnet mask as 255.255.255.0.
Now, both computers can view the HOME workgroup, but neither one can see each other. How can I get them to see each other.
By the way…the DirecWay Satellite Connection has an IP address 10.2.97.87 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
Final question is…how can I get them to see each other and how can I share the internet connection?
HELP!! Been working to fix this for more than a week. Thanks!!!!
