Hi I'm new to KLite board but ive been using Kazaa for a while now.
I'm not completely stupid about PCs. I know how put in new cards setup printers etc.
Lately ive been having a prob with sygate software. i suppose i should explain how my system is networked for broadband. i use my cousins connection he has 2 nics in his PC-kind of like a proxy server. i installed the nics but someone else setup the connection I lost the connection the other day and I've been playing around with the Nic on my system-i use XP my cousin still uses 98 to get the connection back but so far i can't get no satisifaction. IE still works in dialup (I tried the ICW and even deleted my dialup connection altogether just to see if that was the prob.)
My cousin still has broadband but i cant get online i checked the settings according to the following info provided by the sygate software

=========================================
the only thing I am fairly sure about was that the DSN server address was 192.168.0.1 on my NIC b4 the i "tweaked or shagged up" the settings. I tried using different subnet masks-255.255.255.0 & 255.255.0.0. I tried the two ip address under specify an IP address (it's definitely supposed to be a specific IP address). When ever i do a repair operation it completes successfully.
I have a feeling that this might be some thing i'm missing from the advanced TCP/IP settings. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Any ideas would be appreciated. Please and thanx.

Set up internet connection charing on your cousin's PC and run the Internet Connection Wizard on yours. That'll probably do it.
-
Thanks Smurfette but I have tried that already since the last time I checked this post and thats not it either.
-
why not try a hardware solution . get a router. it faster and free up one computer for you to use and generally safer
-
use 255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask and the dns AND default gateway should be your cousins computers ip address. If those dont work try 192.168.0.1.
Thats about all i can think of, its probably an ip address problem. Are you using a creossover cable between your two computers? because you should be.

@ariel001
I think you're right it's probably time to stop being cheap a cough up the $.
@rossco 2004
Gateway you say. I'll give it a go. Thanks man.

"use 255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask and the dns AND default gateway should be your cousins computers ip address. If those dont work try 192.168.0.1."
That worked except I had to use a different IP address I obtained from a setup disk u make using sygate.
U R the man Rossco 2004!!
