What are the IP/Masks that you are using? Is it just hostnames you can't ping by or the IP's themselves just to be clear. Otherwise the only thing I can think of is that some USB network cards don't like to be peer to peer and only work when connected to a switch/hub.

Has anyone implemented a Peer-to-Peer network involving just two computers with ONLY TCP/IP Protocol? I have been trying to do it but keeping failing. NetBEUI is working fine, I can transfer files in between both computers. But TCP/IP protocolis not working across. Am trying to connect a Window NT to Windows 98 Machine. I used the normal cross over cable (1-3, 2-6, 3-1, 6-2) connection. localhost pings alright, IP-address to each machine can be pinged from that very machine only. Hosts file have been edited and it is resolving fine...but I can ping one machine from the other. I have double checked everything but cannot figure out whats happening. I know I have been implementing peer-to-peer networks but I had not gotten into this kind of scenario...... Any forethought would help, thanks Godswill Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=58266&t=58255 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
