RE: OT Networking XP, ,NT Server, 2000 and SGI

Well I have now made the SGI a client.  This doesn't seem to be any good to me still because I can't tell the SGI which "domain" it is part of.  Foreseeing that this is not going to work - would it be possible to have just the SGI, 2000 and XP machines talking to each other without a server - through a switch?

 

The problem is that the xp and 2000 machines can only connect to the SGI if the NT server is running.  This is a problem because Xp, 2000 and SGI are connected through a 10/100 switch and the NT server is connected through a 10 Hub.  I want to run Exceed on the workstations to use the SGI but would like to do this at 100 as 10 is painfully slow.

 

Any help at all - even a hint of help would be much appreciated as I am admittedly way out of my depth here

 

Thanks

Hi Pedro,

This may be a bit to obvious but is the SGI a DHCP client of the server? If so no server,no IP address therefore no ping!

Hi all

 

At the moment I am running the following:

SGI Oxygen2 (Irix6.5)

Win2000 Dual PIII

Win XP Dual PIII

Win NT Server (Dell)

 

What I am trying to do is run the first 3 through a switch to the Server.  The problem I am having is that the SGI only sees the others and only pings the others if the NT server machine is connected. If it is not, the 2000 and XP ones can ping each other but can't even smell the SGI.  Does anyone have any suggestions or experience with this or a similar problem?

 

Thanks in advance

Pedro de Oliveira
