Im finding networking very confusing. I have two computers on a Router all
hardware is installed and wires run
Win\2000 Pro one computer has a dial up to an IP that I would like shared.
I have only one protocol installed TCP/IP.
I would like touse Obtain IP automatically as I bring a laptop home once in
a while.
The way I have set up TCP for my NIC is this (On the computer with the
dialup)
General Tap in properties
Obtain an IP address automatically
Obtain DNS server address automatically
Advance button and then
IP settings tab
IP Addresses is DHCP Enabled
Default Gateway (there is none)
DNS Tab
nothing under DNS server addresses in order of use
Append primary and connection specific DNS suffixes (checked)
Append parent suffixes of the primary DNS suffix (checked)
Register this connections addresses in DNS (checked)
WINS Tab
nothing under WINS addresses in order of use
Enable LMHOSTS lookup (checked)
Use NetBIOS setting from the DHCP server (checked)
Options Tab
Optional settings
IP security
TCP/IP filtering
I have the same settings on the computer that does not have the dialup
connection
When I click on Network Places and Computers near me it takes 45 seconds and
then the only computer that I see is mine
In Network Identification I have them both under Workgroup and each computer
is named
Is there anyone out there that has networked win2000 computers and has the
time to give me a hand
Thanks
