On Windows ME system PING 127.0.0.1 (local loop back) to make sure its software
is set up correctly. This should work even if the NIC is defective. Then PING the
IP address of the system. It should respond also. If these work, then ping one of
the others and watch the leds on that systems card. If it blinks, suspect the cable.
If it does not blink suspect the adater or drivers.
Check the Network Adapter in the System - Device Manager properties. It should
tell you the device is working.
If the 127.0.0.1 does not work, it is a software setup problem. Most common is
the Winsock module.
