Problems networking Windows XP Home

[Oliver Squires]

I'm trying to connect a Win XP Home computer to a network
of two other computers with different operating systems.
The host computer is running Win 2000 and the other is
running Win XP Pro. I can see the the LAN connection but
I cannot connect to the internet or the other computers.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Oliver,

Please provide ipconfig information for each computer.
Start - Run - "cmd". Type "ipconfig /all >c:\ipconfig.txt" into the command
window - Open c:\ipconfig.txt in Notepad, copy and paste into your next post.
Label each with operating system name and version.

From each computer (XP Home and Win2K), verify connectivity to the other:
1) Ping the other by name.
2) Ping the other by ip address.
3) Ping itself by name.
4) Ping itself by ip address.
5) Ping 127.0.0.1.
6) Ping the router.
Report success / failure of each of 12 pings.

By "host computer" do you mean the Win2K computer is your internet gateway?

Cheers,
Chuck
