| 388120 | 2005-09-13 20:04:00 | Don't use the wizard it sucks . I thought there was a network FAQ, cant seem to find it . If you're using ethernet, u need a crossover cable, if you dont have a hub . Remember to give each the same workgroup . Manually enter the ip address on each under the LAN icon / properties / internet protocol / use the following ip address . On the main PC, if u want both to get on the net, put 192 . 168 . 0 . 1 in for ip address . 255 . 255 . 255 . 0 for subnet . And on the networked PC put something like 192 . 168 . 0 . 2 for ip address . 255 . 255 . 255 . 0 for subnet and 192 . 168 . 0 . 1 for default gateway . Then enable file sharing / share a folder on each . DON'T share the whole hdd on either tho . If u have any firewalls, on either, you have to configure it, so file sharing will work . |
