I am at home and having severe frustration trying to get my (10.0) laptop to connect - or even see- my Win2K desktop (and the shared drives/printers contained). In fact I cannot ping it even by IP.
Of course, I can always ping and utilize resources on my laptop from the desktop.
Thinking maybe it had something to do with the wireless network, I plugged in the ethernet cable to the back of my laptop. (When at work, I use only ethernet cat5 on the laptop, since there's no wifi available.)
However, the wireless NIC (eth1) seems to have jumped all over the wired NIC (eth0) and I can't seem to figure a way to switch them.
What should I do. KInternet seems to have no options for switching.
Start KInternet > right-click on tray icon > interface > select wifi or wired card. If you do not have both cards listed, check your Yast setup for network devices. Always worked for me when I had both cards. I also setup both cards in Yast. KInternet > Settings > Various Settings allows you to set the card you want as default on KInternet startup. One other thought - Check your hosts and lmhosts files on both OS's. Hope this helps. Bernd
