my setup here is being annoying... wonder if anyone could help
Main PC: (Running XP Home)
this computer is connected to the internet (dial up) through a modem. the following are its network card settings:
IP address: 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
DNS Server: 192.168.0.1
Workgroup: MSHOME
Name: Inspiron
Second PC (Connected by a ethernet crossover cable, running Windows 2000):
IP address: 192.168.0.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
DNS Server: 192.168.0.1
Workgroup: MSHOME
Name: Desktop
Now, the problem starts when I try and network resources. The internet conenction sharing gateway works fine, I can have the internet online on both computers at the same time so this is no problem.
However, I can't seem to view either of the hard drives of one machine on the other. Both are set up by right clicking and going to the "sharing" properties, and full read and write access without a password is allowed. The only problem is, I can't see any of the resources at all. I get a window saying that the network pathway cannot be found, and also when i look in the network folder, the other machine isn't available.
So, does anyone know what is wrong? I think it might be something to do with the IP addresses etc but i am a complete
. All i want to do is view my files on a different machine...
