OT - Lauren - Email problem

From: "Cheryl"

PawsForThought composed with style:

I'm at the point where I've got the 2 computers communicating and
we can share data. One computer can go online the other can't.

If you worked with tech support maybe they had you do something that
changed your IP address of the connected systems' nic card. I don't
know what is going on but I do know networking.

They did have me set a static IP address for the network card and also a static
address for DNS server. The 2 computers can ping each other fine, but on the
one computer that can't sign onto the internet, if I ping yahoo.com, it won't
work. I honestly know very little about networks and they are great when they
work, but boy, when they don't....argh!


DLink tech told me I might have a corrupted TCP/IP installation

That is always the first thing tech support tells you.

but
in WinXP, it won't let me uninstall it.

I have XP on my desktop; I'll have to see if I can figure it out.

So I take it you're unable to get POP3 mail to go through your
"server" PC to another PC?

Um, I'm not sure what POP3 mail is. Is this something like Outlook or Windows
messenger?

You should have both the PC's connected to the router, then the DSL modem
connected to the router, not the PC.


Thanks, Dan. You're right and that's how we have them hooked up.

DLink tech told me I might have a corrupted TCP/IP
installation but in WinXP, it won't let me uninstall it. I've been told you
can uninstall through DOS but they wouldn't tell me how. Each computer has a
fast ethernet PCI card, then are connected to a DLink broadband router, and
then the main computer is connected to a DSL modem.

Yikes, Lauren, you sound like a geek!

I resemble that remark, LOL

So I take it you're unable to get POP3 mail to go through your
"server" PC to another PC?

Not from what I understood. She´s trying to set up a network sharing a
broadband internet connection. I just couldn´t understand if she
has two or three computers in that network and how she linked them to
the router and the cable modem.

Lauren, did you get my e-mail? I used other two non-yahoo accounts to
send it again to both your e-mail addresses.

Lauren, I sent you two e-mails, one last night and one today with some
network suggestions but they keep bouncing back (Remote host said: 500
SYNTAX ERROR, COMMAND UNRECOGNIZED).

Are the 2 of you conspiring together again? hee hee....
