network problem
 

we are all students en we have put our computers in a network, we all have operating system windows xp , but there is one computer working with windows 2000 en he can't go on the network
Are the settings are right what can i do?

what do mean with "cant get on the network"

do you use a HUB/SWITCH to connect?
does the lights on the networkcard come alive?

no, it's not my pc it's for a friend
so he can go on the internet, but he can't see us in our house network

we have a router

does the router provide your PC with an IP address (DHCP) ?

he can't go "on the network" meaning he cant see the other PC's?

try
start -> run

\\ip_address_of_pc_he_wants_to_connect_to

what happens then?

make a "network installation disk" with the networkwizard on an xp machine, run the disk on the w2k pc; ready is cheese ;)

if he is using the DHCP from the router , using that disk will **** up his config on the 2K machine :p

start -> run

\\ip_address_of_pc_he_wants_to_connect_to

if i do this, it don't find the ip

do on both 2000 & XP machine

start -> run

cmd

ipconfig /all

what does it say?

dunno about that, me is network noob, but on my xp machine ip and subnet are assigned by dhcp and I used the disk for connecting the w2k machine

I' ve just installed a new pc runnig win xp Pro here in the network, and after putting that Win Xp pc in the right workgroup, everything worked fine. The win xp can see my win 2000 and vice versa
