I am trying to network two computers through a Linksys EZXS55W switch. I
can ping each local computer, but not the other one across the network. I
have checked the cables for continuity. I've tried the cables in all the
ports on the switch. They both are members of the same Workgroup. I can
see both computers on the W2k system, but get an error message that the path
cannot be found when I try to access the W98 (Notebook) computer. I can see
only the Notebook computer from the W98 computer. The all the lights on the
switch are on for the W2k computer and the upper two lights are on for the
W98 computer. I have included the results below for ipconfig on each
computer. What other information can I give you? I'm new at this
networking business. Can you help me?
Thanks,
Karl
