Connecting With LAN

[rat-boyJ]

I can connect two computers togerther, but it dosent say anything.

When i start a game that is supported by LAN it allows me to play LAN.

But i cant do things such as See the other computer and share software.

Can someone please give me some advice it would be greatly appreciated

Are you sharing the folders? Also, you could go into command prompt and enter: \\PC_NAME_HERE\c$

You could change the C to whatever drive you want to access. Just enter the admin user and pass when prompted.

Also make sure that both your pc's are in the same workgroup, same IP class and subnet mask. After that, do what CptMurphy said.

I cannot see the other computer at all..UNDERSTAND THIS!!!!....I wouldnt ask this question if i could see the other computer. I go into the Network places and nothing.

How do i make it so that i can see the other computer, and access the other computer's files. all the files are shared, this is not the problem.

Can someone please tell me how to fix this problem, it would be greatly appreciated

Why don't you read nitroshift's post and get back to us.

how are the 2 computers connected together? router? crossover cable?

MOVED.

Have you used nLite on that system? You might have removed that functionality.

^ on a similar note, have you disabled any System Services such as Workstation?

Indeed... we realize you're a MSFN newb, but have some respect.

If you're connecting with a switch this should be a none issue as long as you have admin rights on both machines and know what you're doing. Join the same workgroup/domain, share the folders, set a share name... connect to it. That simple.

In case you didn't notice, this is a community forum, not a You-paid-for-support forum. I think you should reconsider the method you're approaching the issue if you want some of the more senior and skilled members in the community to help you.
