  Sorry for taking a while to get back to you, I am very sore and
tired today.
  I am disabled, with a busted up back ,and I am doing my parents
garden, well
  what do I say, I am a sucker for helping my family.  lol

  Right I can see a big problem already here.

  Right if I have this right, you are using the ME machine to connect
to the
  net right now.  This is why we have two Ethernet cards showing up in
  "ipconfig".

  This tells me we need to make a few changes and see if we can get it
all to
  work.

  First of, do you have ZoneAlarm on the ME machine, if so then we
will never
  get this to work right at all.

  Second, we need to set the ME machine up with the IP address :
192.168.0.1
  and subnet mask :  255.255.255.0.

  =============

  How exactly can I do that ?

  ==============




  Third, we need to get the XP machine to automatically get its IP
address
  which it will then get from the ME machine.

  =================

  How exactly do I ensure it does that ?

  ===============





  Once this is done let me know.

  Okay I now you are from Spain as I am a bit of a smart-ass, and I
checked
  your email address.  it ended in ES, so I knew it was Spain.  In a
way I do
  have a connection with Spain ,as my cousin lives in a town called
Calpe,
  which is a short way north of Benedorm.  At present I am trying to
get him
  on the phone, so I can arrange to go out there for two weeks at the
end of
  next month.  Not been out since Easter last year.  It is very good
for my
  back ,as the weather is warmer and also not so humid.

  ====================

  We get people coming here from all over the world because of the
health benefits and not fogetting the cheap vino tinto !   ( I work
for Costa Blanca Property Rentals )

  I wait for your next reply, I've been pulling my hair out over this
for the last four days !
  ======================


  As for protocols for Spain, they seam to work at present, as his
phone line
  is not working.  he he.

  Hi Trevnal,

  I see Chris is having similar problems to me, must be catching  {
  : - )

  Now here we go, here's the answers :

  On the xp pro first :

  Ethernet adaptor local area connection :

  connection-specific dns suffix :
  ip address :  192.168.0.1
  subnet mask :  255.255.255.0
  defaualt gateway :


  Now onto win me :

  0 ethernet adaptor :

  ip address :  80.32.3.44
  subnet mask :  255.255.255.192
  default gateway :  80.32.3.2


  1 ethernet adaptor :

  ip address :  192.169.0.11
  subnet mask :  255.255.255.0
  default gateway :


  Whats next ?  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.

    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?

    Hi Trevnal,

    Glad to see you haven't given up  { : - )

    If it's ok with you, I am really a complete newbie, but I learn
  fairly
    quickly), can we please take it one step at a time, because I
don't
    really understand most of your post.  So, the first step for me is
    below.

    Doug.

      Hi Doug,

      So we know that the network cards work fine, as we can ping
    127.0.0.1.  This
      tells us that the drivers are also working.

      +++++++++++
      How exactly do you that on win me and xp pro ?
