this is my problem :
3 computers,
1 - old celeron 333 mhz runing win2k server sp4 with 3 network cards
1 card goto cable modem with automatic ip (it says in the ip field DHCP enable) card 1 ip 192.168.0.1 connects to pc2
card 2 ip 192.168.0.2 to pc3
all cables plug in all drivers working
i can ping to myself in this computer, 0.1 and 0.2 responding,
seems like verything is set ok.
the server for in2k is not installed, no dns or dhcp servers are running and most of the services are disabled,
ICS is running on the connection to internet to share with card 1 (0.1)
no router or anything
pc 2 runing winxp sp2 fully workable that can ping itself BUT canot ping out
no firewall is runing all stupid windows stuff a disabled
the ip on the card is set to 192.168.0.4 and gateway set to 0.1 ,
dns is empty (good?)
- no network, no internet and no ping -
pc3 is about the same only different is :
in the win2k pc i can see pc2 from time to time, i played with it in the last few days
and i can see both pc1 and pc2 in the network but only on pc1, pc2 couldnt see any network, sayin the list of servers not available (i try to run the dhcp server on the win2k but that didnt help)
then i restart , with no change, and it didnt log to network anymore,
also the network was very very slow and i couldnt ping pc2 from pc1 even that it apears in the net
pc3 never apears in the net but i ping from it (0.3) to the win2k pc (0.2)
its gateway is on 0.2,
i wont it to be when i can share the ionternet connection to one card and share files and folders to the other card (or pc) dont need both to have internet shared,
i tryed to run the network wizzard on both xp computers for a few times , i try to connect only one, change the cards locations, even install the wingate software that shared internet for only one computer (it suppose to share for more then one) but the network wasnt working at all,....
anyone have any clue? i know this is a not simple problem....
k thanx geeks,
