| 430167 | 2006-02-14 01:18:00 | Might be easier if you tell us what you have done step by step, and we can tell you where you are going wrong. | Myth (110) | ||
| 430168 | 2006-02-14 01:20:00 | 1. Make sure the workgroup names are the same. 2. Make sure u enter the ip addresses (under the network card properties), in manually. Not on obtain an ip automatically. 3. If u wanna share a folder, create one, dont share the whole hdd. 4. If any firewalls are installed, add the network for both PC's to it. |

| 430169 | 2006-02-14 02:27:00 | Might want to try NetBEUI on both PC's since it's self-configuring. On rare occasion, I found connecting PC's together via a cross-over cable doesn't work; hubs are cheap and you'll always find a good use for one later. |

| 430171 | 2006-02-21 05:21:00 | Have installed card in ME (Card is built in in the XP machine) But do not know how to configure the TCIP settings esecally in XP and how do you tell them to look for each other? | iancorpe (1367) | ||
| 430172 | 2006-02-21 05:48:00 | For XP: Control Panel, Network Settings. Right click on the LAN connection, properties, TCP/IP, properties. Change to what IP you want. To tell them to "look for each other" just double click the LAN connection, or right click, enable. Dunno about ME |
