Im sure this absurdly easy, but i just havent cracked it yet!
Im trying to home network 2 PCs together.
Ive got an integrated NI in one, a new system and ive just installed a NIC
in the other. I have a cross over cable linking them, theyre both installed
and have the right drivers on WIN XP Prof. The Windows network setup wizzard
it giving back a message to configure them manually becuase it cant do it.
ive tried numerous things to get it going, ive got it so the older systems
shares the new ones internet connection, the older one can see the new ones
hard drive when its shared etc, but the new machine couldnt explore or see
any shared folders of the older system (which has the NIC.)
I used the command prompt to see the IP Addresses, pinged the new machine
which was fine, but the old one didnt at all. Its not sharing an IRQ either,
ive explored that avenue.
Any input or links to any fool proof guides would be greatly appreciated.
