Tried to set up WinXP & Win98 PC on LAN WITHOUT router. Used peer-to-peer(?) connection with crossover Enet cable. (Note: this is an Ethernet LAN, not Direct Cable Connection). Couldn't find the IP address to use. Hover gives 127.0.0.1 on both machines. Can't find IP address info in WinXP or Win98 Control Panel / Network setup or My Computer / Properties.
Any Ideas? Peter, Your Cable modem (or the router) is probably running a DHCP server which assigns your machines IP addresses at boot time. Naturally, this is not present in the crossover cable. Check your TCP/IP settings to validate that DHCP is enabled. In XP, right click the LAN connection/properties, then TCP/IP properties/advanced. In 98/ME, right click network neighborhood/properties, select the TCP/IP for your network card and look at the IP address and WINS tabs. _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
