I think the 192 . 160 . x . y is correct . . . no-one else has jumped in and said "naaaah", anyway . :D That's one of a number of IP addresses reserved for use in LANs, so you can have IP addresses without having disasters when the LAN internet gets connected to the Internet . These groups of IP addresses are "non-routable" . . . they won't be repeated by routers . I've just had another look at your last posting . ;-) "The host computer says I don't have access to the LAN . . . " . So you have got connection? XP wants a user account for each other machine which wants to connect to it . The Guest account is said to work, but there probably will be default security settings which keep Guest locked out . :D I don't know XP . . . ;-)	Graham L (2)
219761	2004-03-04 02:15:00	Wrong Reserved ip addresses are: 10 . 0 . 0 . 0 - 10 . 255 . 255 . 255 172 . 16 . 0 . 0 - 172 . 31 . 255 . 255 192 . 168 . 0 . 0 - 192 . 168 . 255 . 255 Read RFC 1918 ( . faqs . org/rfcs/rfc1918 . html" target="_blank">www . faqs . org) for more The guest account is disabled by default in XP Men are four: He who knows not and knows not he knows not, he is a fool -- shun him; He who knows not and knows he knows not, he is simple -- teach him; He who knows and knows not he knows, he is asleep -- wake him; He who knows and knows he knows, he is wise -- follow him! - Lady Burton (wife of Sir Richard Francis Burton), given as an Arabian proverb	Merlin (503)
219762	2004-03-04 05:45:00	Thanks Merlin, read the bloody thread. And stop wasting soace with that inane Burton quote.	Graham L (2)
219763	2004-03-04 06:34:00	Easy, Graham L. You did say: > Ummm. I think the 192.160.x.y is correct ... no-one else has jumped in and said "naaaah", anyway. What other reasonable action should Merlin have taken? Should he/she just have said "naaah"?	rugila (214)
219764	2004-03-04 07:31:00	ROFLMAO :^O Sorry this really cracks me up.	PoWa (203)
219765	2004-03-04 07:35:00	Basically when Merlin says that quote he is calling you a fool. :^O Pretty funny. I think Graham L just made a typo by doing the 0 instead of the 8. he refferred to it correctly earlier in the thread,	PoWa (203)
219766	2004-03-04 09:49:00	Don't ask me the logic in this reply, but when I networked using the wizard but WITHOUT the XP CD, it appeared to be successful but would not communicate. After a lot of frustration, for some reason I repeated the process but this time using the XP CD. Not only did it appear successful but I have had no trouble ever since. Also no settings had to be adjusted. Best of luck	veterannz (960)
219767	2004-03-05 00:28:00	Ok, I tried creating the network using the xp disk. Partial success. The host sees the other computer, but tells me it can't communicate with it. The other computer seems to be completely blind. Getting v. frustrated!!	Disorder (1613)
219768	2004-03-05 01:12:00	Post, clearly labled, settings for each computer ip address subnet gateway address network name DHCP settings DNS settings other details including ICS and what ever else you have tinkered with . Ensure the crossover cable is indeed that and it is correctly functioning Men are four: He who knows not and knows not he knows not, he is a fool -- shun him; He who knows not and knows he knows not, he is simple -- teach him; He who knows and knows not he knows, he is asleep -- wake him; He who knows and knows he knows, he is wise -- follow him! - Lady Burton (wife of Sir Richard Francis Burton), given as an Arabian proverb	Merlin (503)
219769	2004-03-05 01:17:00	Further, Ensure both computers have matching accounts including both username and password .
