Just upgraded from dial-up to high speed cable, have two computers (one on
W2K and one on XPPro) linked to cable modem through a Linksys WRK54G, and
both are able to get out to web with no problems. Problem is that I can't
seem to access either computer from the other...
1. Both are in the same workgroup and I can see each from the other within
the workgroup, however if I try to access one computer from the other I get
the following:
"\\Comp2 is not accessable. You might not have permission to use this
network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you
have access permissions.
The network path was not found."
2. I have a Zone Alarm firewall on both and have the "trusted area" on low
(off). However, I think I need to identify the IP address of the other
computer to have the firewall recognize it as part of the trusted area. If
this is so, how can I assign an IP address to each box for my network
purposes w/o messing with the dynamically assigned DCHP address from ISP?
Or am I going in the wrong direction and making this more difficult than it
needs to be?
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help,
MJ
