I have a win98se box networked with my warp4 fp12 box using a realtek8139 NIC in my machine. I have installed TCP/IP and NetBIOS on both machines. Both machines can share files no problemo. BUT i cannot ping from one to the other. Any help, and hair restore tonic, would be greatly appreciated. I think I've been looking at it for so long I can't see anything wrong with my setup any more. Thanks tons Glenn M. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **= Email 2 ==========================** Date: Tue, 08 Oct 2002 12:02:25 +0930 From: Gregory Hicks Subject: Re: [os2genau] _digest] I cannot Ping but I can share files Hi Glenn, If you share files but not ping it looks like your network TCPIP settings are not right. What are the IP addresses and Netmasks?

Things to check, as Greg says - IP address and subnet mask - for instance (without a router) a computer with an IP address of 192.168.123.1/24 (24 = subnet mask of 255.255.255.0) and one with an IP address of 192.168.124.2 cannot even see each other. I presume you are pinging by IP address, not by machinename. If the latter is the case, then DNS comes into the picture as well. It wont affect the Ping but good practice says that you have both defined in the same TCPIP Domain and of course have different TCPIP host names eg if one machine is called "computer1" and is in domain "mydom dot com" the second machine "computer2" should also be in "mydom dot com". If you want to switch to "pure TCPIP" networking in the future, make sure that both computers TCPIP hostnames are the same as their Netbios names. Cheers/2 Ed.

Got a good buy at $212 (less than 1/2 price) from Leading Solutions Pty. Ltd. at Doncaster. I was directed to them by Hewlett Packard after asking them where I could get one. They told me that Leading Solutions get their damaged new printers after they have been serviced and checked by Hewlett Packard. The warranty is for 3 months only compared to 12 months otherwise. Anyhow it works like a charm and is nice and quiet. If anyone wants a one year old Epson Stylus Color 680 give me an offer.

The borders would print but no figures or text when the selected area was made to fit to page. Well I've finally found the solution by changing the queue settings in the printer objects settings notebook to include "Printer Specific Format". Hope this helps someone else.
