Tried the TCP/IP method... but it doesn't work for some stupid reason (not
me ofcourse) used instructions online, a couple of books and a couple of
manuals trying tcp/ip method.
But, using the nwlink ipx/spx/netbios method works... even with sharing
printer.
I just use TCP/IP method for internet, not lan.
