P’d off guy asked:
I’ve been trying to figure it out for hours now, and I just can’t seem to do it! I had a friend get the network set up for me using the remote access on the computer with XP on it, but windows 2k doesn’t take that version of msn! The computer with XP DOES have the network available, as well as file sharing (Which is where I’m kinda trying to go..) but I can’t seem to get it set up on windows 2000. Any suggestions would be great!
The computer I have with XP doesn’t have a floppy drive… stupid compaq!!!!!!!!
I tried placing a cd into the drive, and it still said that I need a floppy.
both computers must be in the same work group. run the networking wizard on the xp computer. when it asks you to save your settings to run on another computer, do so to a floppy. take that floppy to the w2000 computer and run the program that’s on the floppy.
Try USB Memory stick or CD_burner something just save them. and move them…
Here’s what you have to do:
1. Click>Start>ControlPanel>Network Connections
2. Right Click>Local Area Network>Properties
3. Click> InternetProtocol(TCP/IP)>properties
4. Make an IP address
ex: computerXP: 192.168.14.1
ex: computer2k: 192.168.14.2
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 (which is applicable for both computers
5. If your using a network HUB the previous steps are a must use.
6. If your using a network router, here are some additional stepes you must do.
7. Know your gateway, which can be found in your network router settings.
8. Once gateway is obtained, then include the gateway into your settings. The gateway is for internet purpose.
