resopalrabotnick Posted November 5, 2005 CID Share Posted November 5, 2005 materials needed: 1 (one) network cable. possibly a large rubber mallet or a q-tip. take the network cable, insert it into the comp's nic, using possibly the q-tip to first remove any dust/debris/dead critters from the socket and then possibly the mallet if there is too much corrosion. then plug the cable into one of the lan ports on the up and running router. go to ie, tools, internet options, connections, lan settings, detect settings automatically, presto. of course, this is valid only so long as the nic in the comp, don't know how old whatever it is there really is has an rj45 connector. but being a 10/100 it should...

resopalrabotnick Posted November 5, 2005 CID Share Posted November 5, 2005 i hope you didn't just delete that vintage smut? well, that makes it post-bjc era i would figure, so you should be good. just jack that sucker in and fire it up. remember that win98 needs at least a boosted rwin to deal with hi-speed internet properly. of course, you could leave it untweaked, that way it shouldn't go omuch above 1 meg down in any case, leaving it throttled to save the juicy connection for yourself.... edit: the network card drivers are installed, tcp is set up with acquire ip address from server?

resopalrabotnick Posted November 5, 2005 CID Share Posted November 5, 2005 what model is the linksys, maybe i can take a peek at the manual online or someone else can clue you in as to what should be set there, if you need to tell it expressly what pc's use what ip or whatever. try giving the old pc the same ip as the one you're on, of course disconnect the one you're on, and see what happens if you feel like poking around.

jypagan Posted November 5, 2005 CID Share Posted November 5, 2005 yes on the PC running the dial up connection make sure you select allow user to connect thru this PC or something similar cant remember. But it will let you do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallowEarth Posted November 5, 2005 CID Share Posted November 5, 2005 -Check the device manager, to make sure that the drivers are not conflicted for the NIC (should be under network adapters, using the view connections by type) -What IP address are you getting?
