OT: Narf\'s Network and XP help thread.
We have a D-Link router, a WinXP, a Win98 and a mac. Any way of getting all of them, or at least the windows machines, talking to each other?
And a netgear hub, which is left over and not used for anything.

Re: OT: Getting a home network going
What router? If it has DHCP built in, just turn on the DHCP and set the computers up to use DHCP. Then put the systems in the same work group, share the drives/folders/printers and enjoy. The off brand system will be a little harder, but it will have Inet access with this set up.

Re: OT: Getting a home network going
Um...It's a D-Link with a Part Number(At least, I assume that's what P/N means) of CDI604.
Neither of us knows what DHCP is.

Re: OT: Getting a home network going
DHCP = Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.
Is this the one?

Re: OT: Getting a home network going
That's what it looks like.
DHCP is already enabled, we think; there's a whole field of numbers in that area. There's a release and renew button, but no enable button. We can get the internet, but the computers don't see each other, if that helps.
My dad can't find any DHCP in the Win98 comp.
Oh, and thanks. There should be a thanks in here somewhere.

Re: OT: Getting a home network going
Getting the Mac and Windows machines to talk to each other might be troublesome. Windows would need the Appletalk protocol, but I didn't see it in the list of protocols for me to install. I know Windows Server 2003 has it, but I didn't see it for XP.
Does the Mac have TCP/IP protocl installed (no clue on how to find out, because Macs are not my forte, and I don't ever want to have to even touch one)

Thanks, but that link does not address Win98.

Re: OT: Getting a home network going
From memory, To set Win98 to use DHCP - go into Control Panel, Network, "TCP/IP for your Lan card" & you should be able to find it in there.
All Windows computers will have to have the same "Workgroup" name, and will have to have "File & Print Sharing" installed & enabled (Found in Control Panel, Network too).
Good luck.
