Hi,
I have two computers at home connected by cat5 crossover UTP cable for
file, printer and internet sharing. The system is working fine except that
the other computer(486 machine Win95) fails to boot if the host computer(P1
win98 SE) is running. The Host computer uses dialup connection to access
internet. I must shut down the Host PC in order to boot the 486 PC ,
otherwise it will stop at the window95 startstup logo screen. If we boot 486
first followed by booting host PC then everything works fine. When
disconnected from network cable both PCs are working normal.
Host P1 PC has 3com Fast Etherlink 10/100 PCI NIC
486 PC has Intel Ether Express Pnp enabled PRO/10
I downloaded the drivers about 6 months back(hope to be latest). In the
Network Properties> Configuration > TCP/IP, NetBEUI and IPX/SPX protocols
are seen on both machines. Internet sharing is done from win98 SE builtin
internet sharing feature.
Any help to overcome this problem will be appreciated.
