Here's my setup.
Host computer P4 running Win XP (home edition), Norton Antivirus 2005
Client computer P3 running Win 98, 2nd ed, NOD 32 Antivirus
Internet connection: Earthlink Satellite system (2 way)
Network set up: network cards, Ethernet cable, Wingate software
Both systems running fine no problems accessing interenet.
The Antivirus software on the client computer was installed by my well
meaning (??) son in law and it became out of date. I removed the
software, (using the add/remove function on the control panel) I
installed Norton 2005, but when it came to the point in the
installation procedure to go online to get a live update for the
Norton I discovered I could not connect to the internet with the
client computer. Also no email connection possible.
I removed Norton software, but still can't get on line. I can ping
from the host computer to the client computer and vice versa.
By the way I am using network cards, Wingate software, etc for my
network setup due to the unique sensitivities of the satellite hookup.
(it seems to be very sensitive with both a transmit and receive
modem). Of course, Earthlink doesn't want to get involved in solving
network problems. They say the satellite system is working as
advertised and they do not get involved in network setups.
Any inputs/suggestions will be appreciated.
