networking
[346 byte] By [lindawqu] at [2007-11-17 17:09:41] 
I am trying to do some vb networking programming. I have a Windows 2000 server and a client (windows 95). Please tell me how to connect the client to server as a LAN and server to client. That is, what I should do on server pc and what on client. I checked server which indicates the LAN in on. this is windows networking question, not vb. thanks

What type of connection are you talking about? Are you trying to do Resource Mapping such as drive mapping, printer mapping? Or are you trying to use TCP/IP connection?-Cool Bizs

Okay ... this might now be a good thread to discuss this. Private Message me with these information:1. What is the Server OS - Client OS?
2. Are you connecting from SERVER to CLIENT or the other way around?
3. Do you have TCPIP installed or just Microsoft Network?
4. If TCPIP, have you tried using PING to check the network connectivity?
Of course I have more questions once I get these answers from you.

Not sure how your client and server is setup. But if you want to try, you can configure it this way:Server:
IP: 192.168.0.1
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.1
Client:
IP: 192.168.0.2
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.2
Now from the server, ping the client and vice versa. Does this work?
