[WinMac] Networking a small group of PCs
Matt Montagne(montagmj[at]mail.milwaukee.k12.wi.us)
I am a technology specialist at a school in Milwaukee and I am trying to allow six Hewlett Pack Vectra VL computers to share a Deskjet 870 (machines are running win 95.) The HP's all came w/ a factory installed Network Interface Card from 3 com and the "Device Manager" shows that the machines are seeing the card. Do the drivers usually come pre-installed when a NIC is pre-installed? The drivers for the NIC appear to be installed already. I have them linked to an Asante 8port Friendly Net Hub. The printer is connected directly to one computer and "Printer sharing" is turned on at that one station. All of the green LEDs are showing at both the hub and the back of the computers. Each computer has a unique identity and they all share the same workgroup name. When I go to Network Neigborhood, I get an error message saying "unable to browse the network." Should all of the computers on the network show up in Network Neighborhood with their computer name? I want to set up similar workgroups in the other seven classrooms that have the same hardware configuration. Please help!!
