Can ping address # but not PC name
Recently changed my home network: removed a Win95 OSR2 and added a new win98 (not SE but have the disk for upgrading) to a net of two older Win98 that have been connected via a hub and working great for the last 9 months.
The new Win98 (400 Celeron) and one of the older Win98 (300 K6) appear to function correctly through TCP/IP. The last PC (450 PII) can ping the address number correctly of the other two but it can not ping the PC's name. I plan to use the 450 PII for printer sharing, internet dial-up sharing, and a data storage server as it has 20Gb hard, zip, and CD-RW (I love this machine!)
The net is set up with address 192.168.0.10 for the 450 PII and .11 and .12 for the other two PCs. Mask is set at 255.255.255.0. Got Realtek 8029 in the older machines with drivers loaded with the latest drivers from 4/99 (will now go check to see if a newer version is available). The new Win98 has a newer LinkSys10/100 card. (Not sure of the model right now)
I have tried w/ and w/o NETBeui and every other combo I can think of and am at wits end.
