korgg Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 This time the problem affects me personal.. I never used the Internet sharing on Win 98, and I know it can be done, just dont know where it is that wizard .. OKI ! There are 2 computers (old ones) with Win 98 SE both...On one computers there are 2 NIC's realtek 8139D, and on the other one one NIC same firm ...It was a hell untill i set them up and running and pls dont ask me how I did it ... :angry: Now, I want to have access to the Internet (provided through cable modem ) on the other computer... I cant use Win 2000 or XP since the computers are too old for this...Now ... there are two big problems... First how do I make the computers see each other on the network ? it worked once, but now they refuse to cooperate, although they are set up corectly... I dont even have ping on them... The cable is OK and i have link between NIC's..(those green leds are on :D )it took me a while to manage to get to work the internet connection, but it worked after all...Damn DHCP and mac filtering :angry: ...The second problem is how to get the second computer to get access to the internet... I know how to do this in Win XP, but I have no ideea in Win 98 ...off-topic: those posts from today are some how an ordinary work day for me... If only the day was 48 hours long :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homecomputeraid Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 Korgg,How are the two PC's connected to each other? Using one NIC in each PC and a crossover cable between them, or are they plugged into a hub?Make sure they're both in the same IP Subnet range.Go to Start, Run, winipcfg, and hit Enter.In the IP Configuration window, make sure they're both in the same subnet range, but that the host addresses are different, for example 192.168.1.5 on one PC, and 192.168.1.6 on the other. Make sure the masks are 255.255.255.0 on both.How do you connect to the Internet? DSL, Cable Modem, Dial-up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korgg Posted January 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 The computers are connected with crossover cable and the internet connection is through a cable modem... IP's and subnets are ok (255.255.255.0 on both.) , and also the workgroup name ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homecomputeraid Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 If the Internet connection is through a Cable Modem, you'll need an additional NIC on one of the PC's, or a Router. I'm not sure Windows 98 is even capable of routing, so I strongly recommend a Router/Firewall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korgg Posted January 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Hey ! What dd I say in the first post ? On one computers there are 2 NIC's realtek 8139D,A router is put of discution because is too expensive for that... And in 98 I remember there was an Internet Sharing Wizard somewhere...
