FAT64 Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Do you have FireWalls installed on either of the two computers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chee Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 1. via build-in protocals 1.1 in your network configuration: client for microsoft networks, tcp/ip protocal, file/printer sharing (3 musts)1.2 by cable: remember that the 8 strands of one end of the cable should remain unswaped, swap the 8 strands of the other end of the cable. ask some one in the pc market to do this when you are preparing such a cable.1.3 set the two computers to have the same group name and set the two pc's with static ip's that remain in the same ip range (ie, whatever the two static ip's are, the first 3 sections of the two static ip's should be the same)1.4 restart the pc and connect them via two ethernet cardsDONE!
