Initializing network provider? Need help please...

Are you trying to connect 2 computer together with a crossover cable?
If so you need to do a static IP and Sub net.

I believe it is. If it is can i do this without internet? niether of them have internet.

Im very frustrated right now, i know computers but ive never dealt with network stuff like this. i have no clue where to start

Internet is not need for tying 2 computer together. A crossover cable is required if you don't have a router/hub/switch. I do it on a regular basis. In the network connection CP, select your NIC card, rt click properties. Then scroll down to TCP/IP select then properties. Then select "Use the following IP". Enter IP like "192.168.xxx.xxx", 255.255.255.0 Each computer must have a different IP (last number set) You do not need anything in the DNS section.

Once both pc have been set, try to ping each computer.

You can turn on/install file and printer sharing form the Port Connection Properties. Make sure both PC are in the same group.

Thanks blue, thats a good start ill try it it,
And how do u ping ur computer?

Open a command prompt and enter "ping <IPaddress>

It will tell you the time of response or not
