Since there is a steady increase in networking problems ;) But a bit off here and it is windows trouble ;)
At the moment, I have 3 boxes (and a fourth one coming soon) hooked up onto a hub.
Router = Linux Workstation = Linux Workstation2 = Windows 98
Now I have set Windows 98 networking to the correct IP, gateway address and DNS. But it doesn't see Workstation + the Router! No ping replies, heck the internet isn't there!
I cannot ping it from my workstation/router to workstation2 at all. First thought is the cable connection.. Nothing there. Checked IP etc.. seems fine.
Don't suggest 'Linux' on Workstation2 since various people in this household wants to use it ;)
Just a thought if anyone actually know a fix to this stupid problem... Or I could start teaching Linux to those people ;)
