Yes. All computers can see Internet. How do you ping?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Find out the IP address of one of the computers. Go to another computer, open a DOS window and type "ping " without the quotes, followed by the IP address, and hit "enter."
EG:
ping 194.168.1.1
Well, I gotta run - good luck!
eta: the purpose of this is just to check if the computers can see each other at all. If it works, then it's a Windows networking issue.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Windows XP Home and Windows XP Professional do not work and play network well with each other.
Or at least easily....

Ah...so that's why I *still* can't see Emily's computer. Nice.

I'm finally getting around to getting rid of my old computer that's been sitting in a closet for several months. I remember asking here ages ago about the best way to attach the second hard drive ( Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9, 120GB ) to my new Mac (Powermac G5), but I've been procrastinating so long that the only thing I still remember is that I'd be better off using it as an external drive. (I've got enough ports free to do either Firewire or USB)
Recommendations/advice/how-to/etc?
[eta: Oh, and I don't need to preserve any of the data on the drive, since I moved it all over to the new computer months ago.]

I'm assuming it's a regular drive, not Serial ATA.
Dealmac.com [link] is a good place to look at what enclosures are on sale.
Firewire transfers tend to be faster, but USB 2.0 is catching up.

Hi all,
I'm looking for an OS9 repair program that will let me restore the secondary boot record for a scsi hard drive.
I used Norton Disk Doctor aand Diskwarrior on a corrupted MBR, and it claims it is wiped clean.
However, Disk Rescue Classic finds the volume and I can rescue files, if I have to. I've already backed up my user directory and documents.
Unfortunately that still requires a lot more work that I'd like to avoid, if possible.

Yeah, it just says ATA on here, not Serial ATA. I'll check out dealmac, though I've got an excess of Amazon credit right now, so hopefully I can find something there and not spend any real money.
Katie, if you're still looking for a monitor, I've got a KDS Rad-5 15" LCD flatscreen you can have for the cost of shipping. Profile addy's good.

This from another forum. He had to evacuate from the Gulf Coast (sounds like his home is gone) and he had to start up shop out of a hotel room for now until his company can relocate him.
Anyway:
Tivo - They will allow me to replace my unit with lifetime service with another one for $50 and continue the lifetime service!
