Hi,
I am having difficulties networking my laptop and Pc.
I have cable broadband for the pc, which I want to share on the laptop, as well as be able to share files and play lan games.
I have two network cards in the pc, 1 which is used for the broadband.
The 2nd one is for my laptop with connects to it, via a crossover cable.
I can share files and even play lan games with the firewalls turned off. However soon as I turn them on (either one) the connectiong is blocked. I am 99% certain its the firewall. I use nortons 2004 on the pc, and Nortons 2003 on the laptop, and was wondering if anyone new what exactly I have to change to fix this problem.
I am running win2k on pc and xp pro on laptop.
I can post any additional information, and would really appreciate any help.
Thank you
