Lan-connecting winXP and winNT 4.0?
This is a discussion about Lan-connecting winXP and winNT 4.0? in the Windows Networking category; Hi everyone, I have unsuccessfully attempted to establish a TCP/IP connection between a winNT 4. 0 and winXP (pro) computer using a two-way network cable. Measures taken: 1. Established a workgroup on both computers called workgroup (very creative) 2.
Hi everyone,
I have unsuccessfully attempted to establish a TCP/IP connection between a winNT 4.0 and winXP (pro) computer using a "two-way network cable".
Measures taken:
1. Established a workgroup on both computers called "workgroup" (very creative)
2. Configured so both computers have same IP-number except for the last two digits (169....).
3. Completed the (silly) home-network installation wizard.
But, as mentioned, my computers doesnt seem to be connected (I tried to "ping" the other computer's IP address as well).
What I'm I missing here?
TIA,
/Mikael

Use ip's of 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2.
Also use a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 for both.
And make sure you are using a crossover cable if the computers are connected directly to each other.
