I have a question about Connect a Windows XP or 2000 system to a Windows 95, 98, or Me system over a Network:

I have two roomates and we have four computers that run Win95b, Win95, Win98 and WinXP. We want to network each PC by using a fast ethernet switch. While we are testing the waters by only trying to hook up Win95b, Win95 and WinXP we do have green lights that either blink a lot or a little. The problem is that our Network neighberhood does not show any other computers. Our workgroup shares the same name while each computer has a different name. How do we solve our problem. Win95b and Win 95 have login prompts with working username and passwords. Our overall goal is to network all PC to share DSL access.

You have to map the netwrok drives in each pc. Double click my computer click view and check toolbar and the option will be there. Also go to network neighborhood and add the "Client for Microsoft Networks" make sure it is bound the your network NIC and that the nic is bound to a protocol (TCP/IP will work), and the network. And also enable file sharing. ( not the dsl network) Also you will have to assign an ip and subnet mask to each pc's nic card by editing the tcp/ip protocol . Use the ip's 10.0.0.41 10.0.0.42 10.0.0.43 and 10.0.0.44, the subnet should be the same and should be 255.255.255.0 Also go to www.analogx.com and download a program called Proxy and install it in the on-line (dsl ) machine. It's free and comes with instructions, that tell you how to assign the ip and port in the IE LAN control panel. If the on-line machine is 10.0.0.44 they all have to know how to look for it.

Uhh dont use a A clas licences such as a 10.0.0.41, ud use that if u needed up to 64 million computers, a C class would work, use 192.168.0.*, also 255.255.255.0 is the subnet for a C class not an A class so this config may cause some problems

first of all your using a switch. if you expect to use dhcp you really need a router of some sort to allow connections to be setup automaticlly. if you have a router make sure you are in the same workgroup, subnet and ip range with all of the computers you want to connect to the system. hope this will help you!!!
