Have you had any luck with this? I'm having the exact same problem with my
millenium machine.

Orynthion,

Yes, I finally got my two computers talking to each other. I'll try and
help any way I can. My problem was a firewall in place, that I had to
disable. I had a program called "Zone Alarm" on both of my computers. That
program is a firewall program and I had to go into it and "allow" the
computers to get through the firewalls. I also found out the my XP system
had its Windows firewall up and running, so that also had to be set to "allow
file and printer sharing" so that they could talk to each other. That ended
up being my dilemma.

Where do you stand with your network? What have you done so far? What
systems are you trying to network together?

M Ridzon

I'm still not able to connect. I've made sure all network settings are
correct as Steve had suggested to you. I even turned off protocals, TCI-IPs,
and adapters then reinstalled them. I've also turned off ZoneAlarm and the
Windows XP security.
The workgroup name is the same on both machines.

Each computer is able to connect the internet through the router but neither
one is able to speak to the other.

I am completely baffled at this point.

I take it that you have two systems that you are trying to network together,
an XP system and Windows Millenium. Is that correct? This is
important....have you run the Windows XP disk on both computers to set up the
networking software?? If so.....

Have you tried going into your MS-DOS prompt on both computers and "pinging"
each other and the router to see if the see each other at all. You need to
know the IP addresses of both computers to do this? You can find this within
your router configuration screen somewhere. I really can't tell you where
exactly because all routers are different. To do this ping, go into your
start menu and find your "MS-DOS prompt" somewhere. I think it's under the
programs folder or accessories folder. Open it up. It should say something
like "C:\WINDOWS>" Type in "ping <type network IP address of other computer
here> For example, if I was on my XP system and my Millenium system had an
IP address of 192.168.0.155 in the network, I would type "ping 192.168.0.155"
Let it do its thing and see what the results are. If successful, it should
say that all packets sent were also received and none were lost. If they
"see" each other, then we'll go from there.

Let me know what you come up with.

M Ridzon

You are correct in that one is an XP system and the other is Millenium. I
didn't run the disk on the XP system. I did run it on the Millenium system,
but I get an error message after clicking *next* following the page for
specifying the workgroup name. The error message reads:

An error has occured. To continue:

Press Enter to return to Windows, or

Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart your computer. If you do this, you will lose
any unsaved information in all open applications.

File Name: VSERVER(01) + 00004D7D Error: OE : 0028 : D45A7E8D


I have tried to ping the computers. Neither computer can see the other one.
Both computers are connect via D-Link Router. Each computer is able to
access the internet.

I do have ZoneAlarm on the Millenium computer, but it has been turned off
while trying to figure this out. The Windows firewall on the XP machine has
also been turned off.

Ah, the proverbial blue screen of death!! I had this same problem occur on
my 98 laptop with the same error message. Go to the link below. It
addresses the problem. I had to change a file extension in my laptop to get
the XP disk to take and allow me to load the XP network software onto the 98
system. Your procedures on the ME system are a little different. But
hopefully, it will work and allow you to run that XP disk on the ME system.
Try it and see what happens. Make sure and run the disk on the XP system as
well. Insert the disk, click on "perform additional tasks" and then click on
"set up home or small office network." Follow the screen prompts from there.

If this doesn't completely fix it, then we will have at least made some
headway. Try it and let me know what you come up with. I believe the fact
that they can both access the internet is independant of getting them to
physically talk to each other. Although, it does at least tell us that the
router sees them both. That's good!

M Ridzon

I went to the link you provided and what it told me to. During the restart I
got another blue screen. Here is the message.

^^^^^^^^^
There is a problem with a system file. Windows might not be able to run
correctly. You might be able to fix this problem by running System Restore.
If this does not fix the problem, try reinstalling Windows.

VxD dynamic link call: VSDATA95(01) + 0002FC3C to "0028", service 800A.

To continue running Windows, choose Yes. Be aware that your computer might
become unstable.

To quit Windows, choose No. You will lose any unsaved information. Do you
want to continue running Windows?

Press Y or Yes or N for No
^^^^^^^^^

I recently had problems with a %1 from %2 error that I fixed by renaming and
deleting the _RESTORE folder. I'm guessing that System Restore will not work.

What now?

I performed a system restore. I am leary of performing the steps outlined on
the linked page again. Any idea why I received the message I did?

Hmmmm......<baffled look on my face.> I didn't expect that to happen. Let
me do some research on the error that you received and I'll get back to you.

Talk soon,
M Ridzon

I did a little research on the error message that you now get. Take a look
at this link. There's two pages in there you can look at. It looks like it
might have something to do with Zone Alarm. I'll be honest though, I'm not
100% sure. I've never encountered this problem and I'm just taking a shot in
the dark here. I suppose it's worth a shot. Let me know if you have any
success. It's kind of important that we get that XP software to load on the
ME system, so that's why we have to try and get through this other garbage.
