Re: Help configuring AT with XP and Crossover Cable

Ok, I'm getting close. I now can get to the Internet with the AT, but it
can't find the shares. Here's the dump from ipconfig /all:

**********************************************

The NIC that talks to the AT is the Realtek. If I set the DNS to the same
value as the gateway, 192.168.0.1, then the AT finds the Internet, but
cannot find the shares. If I set the DNS to either 155.132.138.22 or
66.7.169.1, then the AT can't even see the Internet, let alone the shares.

So, I need to figure out how to get the AT to resolve the name : TC-XP-HM
where the share is located.

You guys have been a big help getting me this far, and I appreciate your
help.

Thanks,

-Tom
