| 638327 | 2008-02-08 10:23:00 | I recently came across (www.computerworld.com) a pretty well rounded bit of 3rd-party software for configuring home networks called Network Magic (http://www.networkmagic.com/). Sorry for the sales pitch but after installing this the other day, it even seems to be a good replacement for the native Windows networking tools and wizards. Be aware that it is a commercial product with a 7 day trial initially, then a "downgrade" to the free but crippled version (product comparison (www.networkmagic.com)). It's still definitely worth checking out though. I'm admittedly not one for purchasing software but this is on my list of "Windows software to consider purchasing". |

Check what IP no. each comp has (get to command prompt and type ipconfig /all. What IP no. and what gateway is displayed?). Try pinging the IP no. on the other machine. What result?
