Author Topic: CD Burner Question Nate Lehrke Master Film Handler Posts: 396 From: Denver, CO Registered: Oct 2002 posted 02-08-2003 06:39 PM                     Daryl: Once I were to install the new network card, set up the little network; I would be able to transfer everything? I once like people & had faith in the human race, then I meet Joe.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

It'll probably cost you less than you paid for shipping on that keyboard too.  |  IP: Logged Nate Lehrke Master Film Handler Posts: 396 From: Denver, CO Registered: Oct 2002 posted 02-09-2003 12:56 AM                     Thanks again everyone. Once I pay the $14.99 for the network card & $12.99 for the cable's, I will most likely need help with installing everything, I will be posted question's i'm sure! A side note on that keyboard Daryl: I got a follow up call saying that I actually don’t have the Complete Care coverage & that if I were to send the laptop in it would cost $700 plus S&H to repair because the motherboard would need replacing as well as the keyboard components. Well, you can guess what I told them! Also, now that they know I have a problem my original crappy warranty is void unless I have them fix it. Ye-yah!  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

I have installed the card & downloaded the CD-Rom files. From my desktop I have acces to all my shared Laptop files BUT the Laptop can't get anything from the desktop. My Laptop doesn't seem to know what to do. Do I have to put the CD-Rom in the Laptop too? Also, I had no idea that I would be able to access my web connection from the laptop on the desktop! That's really cool!  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

Right click on a folder you want to share on the desktop. If 'Sharing' is in the list shown when you right click, select it and go from there. If it's not you'll have to add 'File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks' (or enable it) in the control panels network properties. If you need more specific info you'll need to tell us what OS you are using. BTW, sharing a printer works the same way. Just go into the printer control panel and share your printer the same way you would a folder. Depending on the operating system of the (other) computer you may need to install the printers drivers on the (other) computer when you try to add the printer as a 'Network Printer'. Basically you just run 'Add Printer' and select 'Network Printer' and go from there.  |  IP: Logged Nate Lehrke Master Film Handler Posts: 396 From: Denver, CO Registered: Oct 2002 posted 02-09-2003 11:59 PM                     I got it all working now!! Thanks again for evrything all!  |  IP: Logged Nate Lehrke Master Film Handler Posts: 396 From: Denver, CO Registered: Oct 2002 posted 02-24-2003 11:46 PM                     I didn't want to start a new topic for this: NETWORK QUESTION I have two computers, one with Windows-XP & one, a MAC with OS-9.2. What is involved to get these computers to communicate? I have connected a crossover cord between the two & I am able only to share a internet connection. I again want to access my audio/video files from the PC on the MAC. What are the chances of making this happen? Edited because I can't spell!  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

I haven't done a hybrid network in years, so I haven't done it with OS9 or XP. I'm sure the wacko you work with would have an idea how to do it though. Alternatively you could run an FTP server on one of the machines and connect to it with an FTP client on the other.  |  IP: Logged Nate Lehrke Master Film Handler Posts: 396 From: Denver, CO Registered: Oct 2002 posted 02-25-2003 12:05 AM                     The 'Wacko' I work with referred me here! He must just be to lazy to help me.

See if you can beat me on a Google search. You'll probably win, I'm busy trying to rescue a Novell network right now.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 02-25-2003 12:19 AM                     That wacko knows how to do it. He has it set up in his own house that way! That wacko must just be lazy. Can anyone tell me what I have to do to network a Win98 with a Win2000 computer? I know how to network a million Win2000 machines together, but can't remember what steps I had to take on the 98 machine.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

Check out this: AppleShare IP6 Info I only skimmed the first document, it looks promising. If you can't get it working I'll take a look when I have some more time. Brad, basically the same way. Just make sure you ONLY have TCP/IP installed protocol wise on all of the machines. You might have to manually set either a 98 or 2000 machine as browse master (which one, you'll have to play with -- or it might work automatically). Even if they don't show up in the 'Neighborhood' you should be able to access them by typing in \\207.168.10.x in the browser window.  |  IP: Logged Nate Lehrke Master Film Handler Posts: 396 From: Denver, CO Registered: Oct 2002 posted 02-25-2003 12:30 AM                     Thanks! I will download it all & figure it out. To guess what the 'Wacko's' response will be: “I don't have enough experience with Windows XP to help Nate!”  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 02-25-2003 01:56 AM                        I don't have enough experience with Windows XP to help Nate, but I'll try. There is a not-very-free application for Mac OS 9 called "Dave" that will allow full file and printer sharing as well as all that other crap. Cheap it is not. But it may be getting cheaper since it is almost useless now thanks to Mac OS X. In Mac OS X it is built in. I don't remember the steps to set it up. I'll set it up for you soon. After it is set up you can just put an alias of the Windows desktop on your Mac OS X desktop. Just double click on that and you can see and modify/transfer all of your Windows files. In OS X the transfer through the Cat 5e cable (ethernet) is extraordinarily fast.  |  IP: Logged
