Glenn sent me his configuration and batch files for EZNOS, and told me
to use 192.168.1.100 which is what they are set up for, and which works
for him. But it won't work for me.
Your suggestion sounds intuitively correct, although in my experience
things are rarely that simple. What "stands to reason" is almost always
wrong.
However, I am not one to let that stand in my way. I ran the DOS comp in
the Ethernet boot which loaded the Ethernet driver and packet driver and
started EZnos, then fired up the XP (it won't connect if the other
ethernet is not ready and waiting when it boots).
Initial check: placing the cursor over the LAN icon in the status bar of
the XP gave the message:
Local Area Connection
Speed: 100.0 Mbps
Status: connected
I opened LeapFTP and entered the address 192.168.1.1 and got the
message: "Connection failed (No route to host)."
Repeated with 192.168.1.2 and got the same result.
Tried again with 192.186.1.100, but it was the same.
Ah, well, I'll try almost anything at this stage. There must be
something that works <GGG>
Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
