| 291146 | 2004-11-13 00:41:00 | can anybody assist me, I am running 2 pc's both using xp home, I have connected them together with a cat 5 crossover cable, used the wizard and got the internet running from 1 to the other but no sign of file sharing is apparent. All the set up programs I look at seem to make my head spin, so if anyone can help me using laymans terms I would be grateful, I am not computer literate when it comes to manually configuring so I might need humouring | bridge (6152) | ||
| 291147 | 2004-11-13 00:48:00 | DON'T use the wizard. If u want the networked pc to get on the net enable ICS on the main PC. This will give it 192.168.0.1 On the LAN under the networked one go into properties/TCP/IP and select use the following IP. Put in 192.168.0.2 subnet 255.255.255.0 and default gateway 192.168.0.1 and preferred DNS 192.168.0.1. Or u can enter in the DNS servers of your ISP in here. Then create a folder on each and select sharing. Enable sharing. DON'T share the whole hard drive. Then make sure simple file sharing is ticked on BOTH (under my computer / tools / folder options/view). |
