| 254725 | 2004-07-23 12:38:00 | Suggest you check all your setting, IP addresses etc. Assume this is an AdHoc network? | Berryb (654) | ||
| 254726 | 2004-07-23 12:54:00 | ip's are in the correct range & yes adhoc networking is enabled both ways | mako (5519) | ||
| 254727 | 2004-07-23 12:59:00 | You haven't got XP with SP2 on you? If you have it might be the firewall if enabled? | Berryb (654) | ||
| 254728 | 2004-07-23 13:05:00 | XP sp1 built in firewall is off |
