I list my problem and specs.
One system running win98 :
ip address: 192.168.0.2
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: I dont know what to put here
DNS server: same problem as with gateway.
Other system running winxp(which also has Internet connection which I want to share)
ip address: 192.168.0.1
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.1
DNS server: 192.168.0.1
The problem when I do ipconfig in winxp, it just shows "Media Disconnected" and the two computer icon in my taskbar never shows the network connected.
I installed a software FreshDiagonse which outputs information about your system on both my systems.
It shows proper Network Configuration and Ip addresses in win 98 system but in winxp system, it shows the ip as 127.0.0.1 (the default one) and in Network Resources, it states that the Network is not properly configured or there is an error in it while the same head in win98 shows Computer name, Share points etc.
What Have I done:
1) I have named my win98 as pc2 and my winxp as pc1 making them part of the same workgroup NETSONIC.
2) I have a user by my name and some password in winxp, I have duplicated the same login information in win98 also.
3) My win98 has a NIC by Realtech and winxp has SIS 900 PCI FAST ETHERNET ADAPTER.
4) Installed TCP/IP in win98 and enabled NetBIOS over TCP in winxp
and yes the FreshDiagnose software shows both the computers as "Attached to Network : YEs"
Really Aprreciate your help.
