Sygate problem urgent plz
 
Right I have my pc which is a xp home sp2 with sygate personal firewall, my gf pc is a pentium 1 with ME on it and ie 6 sp1,

She cannot browse when i have my firewall on, yet whenever i change from the usb one ( where my net comes in ) to the ethernet one which is where we are connected to and where her net comes through and click ok, it turns back to the usb modem setting.

Thanks to this her pc cannot browse the net while I have a my Sygate firewall running?

And? your firewall is blocking traffic from her PC. Get a router ;)

Seriously- you need to find her IP from the ICS, and you need to set it to Allow in the Advanced Rules in SPF. You can do this, I know, I did it...

I am looking it is asking for 3 ip addys subnet mask and subnet IP and the IP i can only find her IP and subnet mask, from my ethernet connection.

On her pc which is windows ME I cannot find a single detail.

Winipcfg? (ICS is ****)

The subnet will be 255.0.0.0 (class A), 255.255.0.0 (class B) or 255.255.255.0 (class C)

Think ICS uses class B addresses though it may be C.

You can tell the IP on ME though!

mate that went right over my head in english please.

Doesn't matter... anyway, on your GF's PC, start>run, type winipcfg and press enter.
Choose the Ethernet card from the combo and find the IP.

Go into Sygate and add it to the Allow list in Advanced Rules and yer away.

Right no change here I am trying to find the subnet ip address all I am seeing on her screen is

adapter address

subnet mask

default gateway

Re: Sygate problem urgent plz
 
subnet mask is what you're looking for. "Subnet IP" doesn't make sense

:rolleyes:

The "IP Address" is the one you need. The one above the one radioed.

Get your GF's IP from Ipconfig/Winipcfg on her PC, and add it into the box...

Added the ip which shows with that command but no change still loads certain websites and not others.

it loads google ( homepage ) just fine but non others, sometimes it loads another site then it don't.

I cannot figure it out.

Just hit me if this is due to my pc bein xp home sp2 and it being a stock install of ME with Ie6 Sp1, could there be another update between this which is missing of which mean it cannot communicate properly with software on my end?

But the damn thing can't get to windows update?

Let me check I've understood what you're saying here...

You have one machine running XP, which is connected to the web via a USB modem. This machine also has an ethernet network card to connect it to another PC. The second PC (running ME) is connected via the ethernet card to the XP machine, and you're trying to use ICS to get the ME machine online too.

If this is the case, let's step back a bit before saying your girlfriend can see some websites some of the time. Does she have any network connectivity at all. Can she ping your XP machine? If that's OK, can she also ping sites on the web? (try pinging www.yahoo.co.uk as they don't block ping requests)

What makes you think the problem is being caused by the firewall on XP? Does your girlfriend's problem disappear if the firewall is temporarily disabled, and is this what lead you to determine the firewall as the problem?

Have you configured ICS on the XP machine? If you're not 100% sure of how to do it, spend a few minutes reading and understanding this post by Staurt W.

Of course, the easiest solution is, as nffc says, to just buy a router. It's more expensive than buying a Cat 5 crossover cable (er... you are using a Cat 5 crossover cable, aren't you?) but won't take you anywhere near as long to configure.

YES

That is correct

It goes away but we have noticed it goes and comes back even with it disabled.

I shall do ty and I am using a cat 5 crossover the same one actually that sucessfully networked our old laptop to this very same pc.

I will get my revenge mark my words mauhhahaha :rofl:

That pc is awaiting some Ram from a friend, and also a new HD as the old one has that many bad sectors I think it could set a record.

In meantimes I have given it some new fans, and new cpu fan and tidying it up a bit.

So be back to the networking problem once I have the 128mb of ram for it so I can go onto Xp Home with it.
