Connecting two PC's at Home

[skvaish]

I have connected two PC at home using a Hub. One machine as W2K Prof. and other machine has Win98se. I can ping from W2K machine to Win98se machine. But pinging from W2K machine to itself fails. It even fails the Ping localhost. Initially I had two NIC card installed on W2k machine. Now I have taken one out.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Did you set up the DNS #s in TCP/IP?

are you using DHCP or Static IP# ?

Did you remove the card from the OS also?

If so, go to the DOS prompt and run route print. Make sure you don't have any routing from the old card there. If you do then 'route delete'. What it may be doing is trying to ping the old card. Also, I would not use DHCP for a 2 computer network, use static IPs. I will admit, I am a control freak.

Thanks guys,

I checked up my PC. Its IP is 192.168.0.3.

The route print gives following.

Network Dest. Netmask Gateway Interface Mtric
127.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 1 1
192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.3 192.168.0.3 1
192.168.0.3 255.255.255.255 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 1
192.168.0.255 255.255.255.255 192.168.0.3 192.168.0.3 1
224.0.0.0 224.0.0.0 192.168.0.3 192.168.0.3 1
255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 192.168.0.3 192.168.0.3 1

I could not get any head and tail out ot it except that I see a strange ip address 224.0.0.0. I also tried to delete this entry using 'route delete 224.0.0.0', but it gives an error that entry not found. How to resolve this. Is these above entries looks ok to you.

Thanks
