Hi,
After 'banging my head against the wall' for the last couple of weeks, I was wondering whether you could help with the following, please. I'm trying to network my new Optiplex 740 with Vista Business (32bit), and Norton 360, to my old Euro PC with W2K Pro. and SystemWorks, using basic Belkin /Realtek cards and yellow ethernet cable. My broadband connection is through my old machine and works perfectly, as does the network card installation. My new machine also indicates that its card is correctly installed and functioning correctly. BUT the Network and Sharing Center window shows this computer as linked to an Unidentified network and no connection to either the other computer or broadband connection. Within my limited knowledge I've done all the usual stuff, including turning off both firewalls and antivirus. So here we are with each machine happily doing its own thing, but flatly refusing to speak to one another! : ) It's got to be something 'right under my nose' and stupidly simple, but I would be REALLY grateful for any help that you can offer.

hi, Kinetix The problem that you cannot connect with other computer is thata you are using a APIPA IP address Automatic Private IP Adddress. This happes when your computer trys to find for a DHCP server (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Server). What you need to do is Either setup a DHCP on your Router or Server. Or use a Static IP address on all computers in the same IP range. To way to do this one using the gui toll which you said didnt work. so you can try this in command line netsh interface ip set address name=" Local Area Connection 2" static 192.168.0.100 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1 1 192.168.0.100 is your ip address 255.255.255.0 is your subnetmask 192.168.0.0 is your defult gateway (your routers interface) tha above is just a example you can use any range that you want Hope this helps Cheers !! -- john_cena -Shihan Sylvester Pietersz- -(MCP,MCSA,MCSE+Security,MCSE+Messeging- -MCTS,MCITP)- -Systems -::-Engineer / Consultant Trainer- :: |

Hi Kinetix, You need to open command propmt as administrator to do this. do the following go to start, all programs , accessories, then right click command propmt and select run as administrator. and enter the commads in my last post. this should work fine then Hope this helps Cheers !!!

So restarted - still nothing. Went into LAC2 Properties and reset from Static to DHCP, and network icon disappears from Network window, while identifying kicks-in in Network+Sharing, but after 14 minutes still fails to 'connect'. Went back into LAC2 Properties and reinserted: 192.168.0.100 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.0 and icon reappears in Network+Sharing, and overall it's still classified as being connected to an unidentified network. Just to reiterate: 2 computers, 2 cards and an ethernet cable - nothing else, and 'mechanically' everything showing as AOK! Have included the latest print out. Hope that you've got something else up your sleeve : ) Thanks, Kinetix Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6000] Copyright (c) 2006 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
