Remote IP Address Mask ?

I'm setting up a network with one XP Pro and one Windows ME system. The
XP Pro system is connected to the internet, so I have run the network
setup wizard on that, created a network floppy, and run that on the
WinME system.

I'm trying to scour through all the software that is stopping the
network from working. I'm hoping that the Nvidia Forceware Network
Access Manager is the only obstacle I'm having.

I can see that the WinME system is being blocked by the Nvidia Firewall,
as every time it's started up a mass of connection attempts are listed
as blocked on the Nvidia Firewall log.

In * Firewall / Advanced Configuration / IP Address/ * there is an
option to allow the IP address of the WinME system, but I don't know
what to put in the *Remote IP Address Mask* field. If I leave it blank
it defaults to * 0.0.0.0 *, and I'm still no further ahead with being
able to network these two systems.

Can anyone advise me where I can find this information out, as it's
doing my head in.

Try a Class C -- 255.255.255.0
 
If you want to allow access from just the one computer, the mask would be
255.255.255.255. If you have a class C network for your LAN and you want to
allow any computer on your LAN to connect then use 255.255.255.0.
