One sale person asked me to fix her computer because she cannot access the pc of her office mate. She has windows 98 second edition installed in her computer. When I checked her computer I've notice that the LAN "Local Area Network" Card was not in the Device Manager in My Computer properties.
While checking at the back of her CPU "Central Processing Unit" I've notice that LAN Card light indicator also was off or not functioning. Checking the UTP wire it was working fine. On the CPU it has a RJ45 slots it means it has belt-in Lan card. So, I think it as an alternative. Plugging it and Turning on the CPU then configuring the network adapter. When I ping the computer of the other pc, it was responding will. Quickly, I went to network neighborhood and open it, sadly, nothing appeared. So, I use a trick First, click the start button, and then select run menu. Under the box I type: \\aina - because that is the computer name of the other pc. Again, nothings appeared.
My last option is to type: \\"the ip address of other computer" - now it appeared.
Using computer is not easy for people have no little experience in the technical side.
If somebody encountered they same problem that I had Just try what I did maybe it can be help.
