Hello,
I have 2 PC's, both with WinXP Pro installed. One machine has SP2 the other one SP1 (still not installed). I have an ADSL connection and want to share the connection. I bought an 5 port switch and connected the ADSL line to the switch and the other 2 computers. The internet connection works well with DHCP. Bu I cant setup file and printer sharing! Both computers have ZoneAlarm installed. I cannot ping the computers from the command prompt.

So, what is wrong?

Is it because of the switch? Because of the firewall? I really don't know!

Please help!

Thanks,
Mirza
