Don't be too long, I'm just waiting now for the next bit { : - ) How do you know I'm from Spain ? I'm actually about a 10 minute drive inland from the beaches of the Costa Blanca. Do you have any connections with Spain, if you do, have you checked your protocols for it ? { : - ) Doug. ----- Original Message ----- From: Trevnal To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, October 07, 2002 6:44 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Network win me to xp pro Doug, On ME, click START, PROGRAMS, and then find the dos prompt. Click on that and then type in "ping 127.0.0.1" On XP, START, PROGRAMS, ACCESSORIES and then you will find COMMAND PROMPT this time. Again just type in "ping 127.0.0.1" By the way what part of Spain are you in?

So, the first step for me is below.

This tells us that the drivers are also working. +++++++++++ How exactly do you that on win me and xp pro ? ++++++++++ To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/
