First of all, thanks so much for the responses. I really appreciate it!! Anyway, I am uncertain as to whether or not I use a Proxy Server. Honestly, I am not sure what that means. I did try to access the site in Netscape, since IE didn't work and no luck with that either, which is why I thought...

First of all, thanks so much for the responses. I really appreciate it!! I hope you don't mind me using your personal email, but you provided it and I thought since it was getting late in the UK, I would try to spare you having to monitor the Tech-tips area. Anyway, I am uncertain as to whether...

Hi Chris, Thanks for the reply! So, I went to the DOS prompt and typed "ping www.espn.com" and it returned request timed out...Which was strange, because then I went to IE and was able to reach ESPN just fine. Does that seem weird?? By the way when I went to ping one of the sites...

This issue has been confounding me. Let me appologize in advance as I am really not all that technical. Anyway here is the problem...I have two computers hooked up to a LAN. Both computers run Win2K and are connected through a hub which in turn is connnected to DSL. The problem is I can not...

I couldn't agree with you more, Yohann! Thanks again both of you - I am sharing Files and printing like the madman I am. Cheers and warmest thanks! Michael Gravitate Design Studio www.gravitatedesign.com

Cdogg and Wolluf, Thanks!! I have the networking between the two computers working perfectly. The tip to install netbeui (which might have been wiped out when reinstalling win2K - answers the question "what's changed" seems to have done the trick. Also the tip from Cdogg to manually...

UK!! It is like 3AM there...thanks for staying up and helping with your posts. I checked and I already have NETBEUI enabled on my computer. Wait, it wasn't configured on the other one. Wow, I have mapped computer 2 to computer 1. For some reason now I am having difficulty mapping 1 to 2, which...

Cdogg, Thanks! It is a two-way problem. The thing I don't understand is I can see the other computer when I go through networking and click on "computers near me", but when I click on the '+' (which signifies EXPAND) on the computer I am trying to target and try to drill to the share...

Hi Wolluf, Thanks for the response. So, I went to check and both computers belong to the same workgroup that I created. When I went to check this setting, I noticed that a computer can belong to a workgroup or a domain. Is the domain something I should be concerned with? Probably not, since you...

Thanks to both for your responses. And I do agree that 'my post is incoherent'. Count yourself lucky that you don't have to speak to me in person! LOL! I digress.... So in answer to XgrinderX - I went to enable 'file sharing' on my computer (I will call this computer #1). I followed the...

Hi, I am a web designer, but I am not too technical so bear with me. I have a home network with 2 computers and a printer. They are connected through a hub, which in turn is connected through a DSL modem. Both systems are running Win2000. The problem I am having is that I can not share files...
