This would be a fault with the connection, possibly the cable or incorrect firewall setup. How is your network setup, through hubs, crossover cable? I'd use IP address 192.168.1.2/255.255.255.0 for one computer and IP address 192.168.1.3/255.255.255.0 for the other, I'd setup the Firewall to allow those two IP addresses or a broadcast address of 192.168.1.0 on any port to allow for game connections as well, Maybe disable any firewall incase. Probably a good idea to turn off XP's firewall and use alternatives as I found it pretty shabby. I'd first test each computers connection, ping 127.0.0.1 or localhost on both computers and then each IP address 192.168.1.x depending on the computer, I'd then test each other computer out. If there's no connection between the two then either firewall or cable could be at fault. To see each others resources you'd need to enable file sharing and make sure that each user is a recognised user allowed to browse your network. |
