TICKET ARCHIVE -> OsX/Xp networking
MogVII - Dec 3, 2007 - 7:31 pm
The only thread in the forum that had to do with my problem showed the user running a classic os. Also I have a second nic in my windows desktop dedicated to this connection.
I would also like to be able to leave airport on for internet connectivity on my mac (as well as maintain internet connectivity on the win)
I am on OS 10.4 trying to network with windows xp using a crossover cable... airport is far too slow for the large files I want to move.
The ip's and subnet were configured as they should have been.
The very best result I got was dave saying "there are no shared folders on the computer named ---" obviously I had folders shared.
Both machines pinged one another just fine however I got no further than that.
I also used every combination of NetBios and/or IPX I could think of as well as "Network Monitor Driver" and "Link-Layer Topology Discovery Responder" on the win. I do not know much about the former two.
When I tried to access the mac from win I got an authentication popup. No combination of usernames or passwords worked from either windows or mac.
All I want to do is have my laptop always connected to the windows machine via the crossover while still being able to access the internet from both computers. PLEASE HELP!
(I was CCNA certified in 2001 and have since lost a little of that knowledge as I let it go.) Im no dummy when it comes to networking but I am new to OS X.
Thank you very much
Dave

Updated to Leopard. The problem disappeared when Dave was no longer installed.
However I cant still have the crossover cable plugged in and still get on the internet. It seems OS X is trying to use whichever selected (airport or wired nic) to connect to the internet and network at the same time.
This:
"All I want to do is have my laptop always connected to the windows machine via the crossover while still being able to access the internet from both computers."
Should be clarified in that I want to connect to the internet on the laptop using Airport but be connected to the windows box via the crossover cable at the same time.

I think that will work.
In network prefs, you need to setup the ethernet with a manual IP address that isn't in the same subnet as for airport. Example: if the Airport IP address is 10.0.0.2, make the Mac and the PC 192.168.3.3 and 192.168.3.4 (subnet mask 255.255.255.0).
