Agreed, especially if they don't understand the need to protect their network. This is very common. Some take the view that if it is unprotected...
IPconfig results indicate that connectivity should be possible. I would check for firewall settings. I had a similar problem a while back and...
This underlines the need to be sure you have all necessary drivers before upgrading to XP. It uses different drivers than 98/ME. DRD
You might want to try disabling the built-in NIC in the BIOS. Also, check for resource conflicts. DRD

This message indicates that the system is looking for the files on the first partition on the master hard drive on the primary controller. It...
Two quick checks. Can you ping the address (not name) that you want to access? Did you modify DHCP to assign a new DNS address? DRD
I'm confused! You have taken the time and trouble to set up a more direct connection to the Internet (NIC2) but do not want to use it. Why did you...
