| 338608 | 2005-03-27 21:41:00 | Hi, Im hoping I can get some help with networking my pc's, both systems are running xp home, and the second pc can use the internet through the host machine. unfortunately I get permission messages when I try to access files from each machine. to give an indication as to my screen display. Local Area Conection Staus (Host Machine) Address Type: Manually Configured IP Address: 192.168.0.1 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway: Local Area Connection Status (2nd Machine) Address Type: Manually Configured IP Address: 192.168.0.2 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1 when i go to "My Network Places" window 0n my host, I get a not accessible , contact system administrator etc message. On my 2nd pc going to the same window I can see both pc's, but if i click on the host machine access is denied. If I could get any direction I would be grateful |

| 338611 | 2005-03-27 22:25:00 | What kind of network have you got set up? Peer2Peer? What kind of connection cable are you using? Crossover or Network? |

| 338613 | 2005-03-27 22:30:00 | Any firewalls on either? If so, you'll have to add each pc to it, if there's a firewall on both PC's. |

| 338614 | 2005-03-27 22:34:00 | yeah, running norton on both, how do I do that operation | the_inspector (7721) | ||
| 338615 | 2005-03-27 22:40:00 | If u have Norton Internet Security . Click on Personal Firewall, Home networking tab . Click on Wizard on both PC's . And then Next, a set of ips should appear (like 192 . 168 . 0 . 0, for ip and 255 . 255 . 255 . 2550 for mask) on both, press Next again . Thats it . Both should have access to each other . If you have shared a folder on each . |

| 338616 | 2005-03-27 22:46:00 | my mistake, the host machine is using a norton firewall, and the second machine has a windows firewall | the_inspector (7721) | ||
| 338617 | 2005-03-27 22:49:00 | Both computers are running xp correct? What service packs are they using? The reason I ask is that if they are service pack 1, the default firewall may be stopping the conncection. |
