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

[Pedro de Oliveira <oliveirp@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Mark

I have now resolved the problem and am at full speed (100Mbps) using the
SGI
from the windows machines and the NT machine has nothing to do with it :)
It was indeed as Ian Lowe suggested: Change the subnet mask of all machines
to the same one.  My SGI was had a subnet mask of 00ff00ee for some obscure
reason. Once I changed this all was good and order was restored.

Thanks

Pedro de Oliveira

Pedro,

You can _probably_ change the IP address of the SGI somewhere within the
"ifconfig" command. However, there's almost certainly a better,
more GUI
way, to do it that would be SGI-specific.

A better bet might be to work out the current IP address of the SGI, and
change the other three machines to be on the same subnet as THAT - on the
basis that you/we know how to do that bit ;-)

Yep, Yep, Yep.  The Switch is a simple switch with nothing to configure: 5
cat5 ports 1 12v socket. No software . I agree - the NT machine does seem
to
be working as a router and I don't want it to.  I have configured all the
windows machines on the same subnet but have no idea of how to do this on
the SGI.  I will take a look at the online help and see what they say.

This is for using a graphics intensive (OpenGL) package on the SGI and
being
able to control it via Exceed 3D from the PC.

Thanks to everyone for your help and especially to Ian and

Firstly,

Is the switch just a simple thing, with no VLans configured, or anything of
that nature?

Secondly, it sounds very much like your NT Server is acting as a router
between two subnets..

Best check that all of your machines are using the same subnet mask, and
are
on the same subnet. with a small network of this sort, it's usually a good
idea to use the Private Address Space, 192.168.0.1-192.168.0.254 with a
mask
of 255.255.255.0

Ian.
