Hi,
I have a brand new Dell system with XP pro installed. The integrated 10/100 NIC goes directly out to our Ethernet and has no problems accessing the Internet.
I've installed a second NIC to go to a switch so that I can share files/printers with our other lab computers. I DO NOT WANT TO SHARE the internet access.
For whatever reason, I cannot make the 2nd NIC work with the switch and other computers in that workgroup. I've checked and rechecked the IP settings, run ipconfig and verified it there. It is enabled, no firewall etc.
The switch is a new 8 port Linksys. I had it all running with the Win 98 system that the new Dell replaced. The NIC is brand new also. I've installed the newest drivers for the NIC also. I've run the wizard in every possible combination and it still does not work.
Ideas please?
Thanks
