Hi folks
Due to the inability between my son and me to agree on how to split
time evenly to access internet through our only phone line I installed
a network between our 2 computers (his Athlon 900 and my Pentium 166)
I installed a PCI network adapter on the A900 and a ISA PNP n.a. on the
P166. The A900 is running W98SE which comes with a program named
Internet Connection Sharing which allows the W98SE computer to run
sort of like a server of a local network while making calls through a
56k winmodem. The ICS program generates a diskette for easy configuring
of clients (in this case the P166 running W95 OSR2). Everything
worked fine and we are all happy now.
But I want to run the same internet DOS programs that I run through
the PPP in the P166 client while the server A900 runs W98.
So far I couldn't. I would like to know if I am missing something.
Details:
The server communicates with the client using Microsoft TCP/IP protocol
and assigns to itself IP address 192.168.0.1 and subnetmask 255.255.255.0
The client is supposed to get his IP address automatically. But through
recommendation of www.practicallynetworked.com I assigned IP address
manually to the client and the internet sharing continued fine.
I entered : IP address 192.168.0.100
subnetmask 255.255.255.0
Gateway1 192.168.0.1
So I installed the ISA network adapter packet driver PNPPD.COM at s.i. 0x60
while base and irq are self configurating (0x340h, irq 12) and placed the
above addresses in the wattcp.cfg file , and it didN'T WORK.
The packet driver attaches fine to the card and also unloads fine
but result is BAD HOST.
May be somebody with network XP-rience has some idea.
