hello LaVar
I am using IPNetRouter with two powermacs (7600 & 7500) and an HP Vectra
win98 machine connected to a Farallon Hub then to comcast@home cable
modem via a crossover cable. No problem.
BTW Have you checked your crossover cable?
First of all, have you downloaded a hard copy of the on-line Softworks
installation directions? "Connecting to the Internet using a
cable/DSL/ADSL modem and single ethernet". You Must follow each step to
the letter!!!!I initally had the same trouble .
Here are some "how tos" I used to make it work.(summary only-use the
detailed instructions)
Two issues were key items that initially caused me grief
1.On The gateway machine go to the TCP/IP control Panel and enter
under Ethernet, Manual, the ISP's supplied info just as if you had only
one machine: IP address, subnet mask, router address, name server
address and search domain.
2.Create in IPNetRouter a "dummy" IP address that becomes the same
address entered as "router" on the slave mac and "Gateway" on the slave
Win machine. The key here is that all slave machines have the same
router address as the dummy IP address as the gateway machine, AND IS
NOT THE ISP IP ADDRESS! It a created dummy.( hence the term; IP
Masquerading )
But, Its all in the instructions. Go to their website and find/download
these instructions,
and follow them
good luck
