home networking

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.broadbandnet.hardware (More info?)

You should post to a general networking newsgroup, like
microsoft.public.windowsxp.network_net, RJ. This newsgroup supports
Microsoft's Broadband Networking hardware and software only, not general
networking issues. One thing I would look at is whether you're using any
third-party firewall programs (any Norton, Symantec or something like
ZoneAlarm) because they will block LAN access. Make sure you've enabled
Printer and File Sharing on each system, too, and give a full, detailed
description of the setup when you post.
