Your laptop will be using IPX/SPX to connect to the Novell Network at work
-
you should be able to configure TCP/IP on it without upsetting Novell.  Go
onto your win2k box and goto start, run and type ipconfig /all.

What settings do you get back?

Guys

Finally got around to connecting the Switch that I got from Scan ages ago,
but
can't get the PC's talking to each other.  All the right lights are
flashing
(on
the network cards/dongles & switch), so I think the problem is my
incompetent
s/w set-up, as opposed to the h/w.  Bearing in mind I don't know huge
amounts
about networking, my config is:

1 x PC running W2K (and ideally Internet sharing), with bog-standard 100MB
Ethernet card
1 x laptop running W98, and using Novell NetWare when logged into the
office
server (is this the problem?) with bog-standard PCMCIA Ethernet card.
1 x Dynamode switch.

The main PC (W2K) seems to be working fine, and according to the diags is
sending packet happily, so the problem is almost certainly with the laptop.
I've tried setting it to 'Client for MS networks' rather than Novell, but
it
still doesn't see anything.  When I try to renew the IP address it fails as
it
can't find the DHCP server (obviously), but I still need to be able to use
the
laptop in the office too, so the support boys won't be happy if I screw
around
with it too much. Both machines are set to the same workgroup.

Am I missing something obvious?

Pete
