Hi,
I have previously set up a simple network between my wife's laptop (HP
Pavilion ze4133) and my old desktop (AMD 1.3Ghz Duron) with a crossover
cable and use of the XP Home Network Wizard. It was used purely for Internet
sharing (ADSL) and worked fine.
I have just upgraded to a new computer - Intel P4 3Ghz and cannot get the
network to work at all! Not wanting to reinstall everything I cloned my old
HDD to my new computer. Everything works fine, XP loads, all my settings are
the same, all my apps work beautifully - except for the network.
I have run the Network Wizard about 6 times on both computers. All the
indications are that they are talking to each other, no problem, i.e., the
icons say they are connected, each computer knows if the network cable is
unplugged etc. But, my wife cannot access the Internet from her machine.
The XP Firewall is totally turned off. I have no other firewall running at
the moment. Pinging each other gives a 100% failure - Time Out.
Having spent most of a day on this I am at my wit's end. Can anyone suggest
anything please?
TIA
