From: Randall Parker 

How do I configure them to use a common protocol? Its not clear to me where
one goes to do that.

Also, why do they need to be in the same subnet? My NT box is at
207.105.135.10 and I can't ping it from the Win2k machine. I can ping the
NT machine from another NT machine though. The Win2k machine is at
192.168.0.25 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. So is no stuff getting
routed out that port when I ping the NT machine? The ping fails very
rapidly rather than waiting for a response. Maybe the OS knows it has no
place to send the ping to. Should I change it to a different address that
is closer to the NT machine's address?
