I'm trying to connect my girlfriends computer to mine. Her computer has a built in ethernet card which is connected to our DSL modem. I added another card to connect to the network. I put in an identical card in my computer and connected them with a crossover cable.
I've set up TCP/IP with an IP of 192.168.0.x on each computer with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. I also set up IPX/SPX and NetBIOS on each of them. They are both on the same workgroup name. I tried to ping the secondary computer from the primary one and it timed out.
What am I doing wrong? I want to share files and internet to the secondary computer.
