FAT64 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Disable the Windows Firewall and see if that has an effect. If not, you can always re-enable it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyeball Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 when you enable ICS does it give out an address in the 192.168.0.x range? as far as i remember your second pc will get an address like that and the first pc will have a second interface of some sort created in network connections with a similar address. do an ipconfig/all on them both and see what address's they have and try basic stuff like pinging between them by names and IP and so and see if you can narrow the problem down:)thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
