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

If you want them to talk for file swopping etc... then you can make sure
the FTP daemon is running on the SGI and map a network drive on the windows
based client to the SGI via FTP. The neater way is to use a product called
SAMBA which allows unix machines to interact with windows clients through
the browser and network neighbourhood

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
