Hi,
What i want: just to do a file sharing between Desktop & laptop, not looking for sharing internet, ONLY FILE SHARING (VISE VERSA)
What I have
A good Desktop & a new HP Business Laptop with Busi Vista
Lan ports available on both
Cross cable and straitght cable available.
Active internet connection available for the desktop
What i have done
1. Tried through straight cables, no lights blinking
2. Through Cross cable no lights blinking
3. Shared the drives in both of them - not detecting
4. Set the workgroup same - not detecting
5. set the ip address as 192.168.1.1 to desktop and 1.100 to lap - not detecting
6. WORST ISSUE: "Media disconnected" msg in DOS in both machine
7. Connected internet connection on both (individually) - ipaddress displayed as it is set.
8. Changed the cables also (only straight, dont have spare cross cable but its a new one)
9. Both are for my personal use so no passwords set and i dont want to set it.
Please help me...
