| 160082 | 2003-07-15 16:27:00 | Whats the best way to Network XP home and 2000 by using crossover cable. having trouble configuring this option! I am probably just a thick user. Thanks for any advise | tanzpete (3093) | ||
| 160083 | 2003-07-15 20:45:00 | on the xp machine you can use the network wizard, Go to control panel - Network connections & click on Setup a home or small office network. cheers Steve |

| 160084 | 2003-07-15 23:22:00 | Also turn off the riddiculous XP firewall as this causes nothing but problems with home networking. | Odin (227) | ||
| 160085 | 2003-07-15 23:55:00 | I would also suggest turning off ANY firewall until the network is set up. | Susan B (19) | ||
| 160086 | 2003-07-17 03:32:00 | Also under XP if you feel confident, there is an option to remove simple file sharing, it's jsut a real pain in the ASS. Make sure that with crossover both network cards are set to 10Mbps half duplex (assuming both cards are 10/100Mbps cards). Sounds slow but unless you got a network Switch you ain't gonna get reliably faster. |

Sounds slow but unless you got a network Switch you ain't gonna get reliably faster. the person is useing a crossover cable so there is no hub to slow it down. 100Mbs full duplex will work fine provided both network cards support it. |
