The IP setup is as shown for one PC and 192.168.0.101 for the other. All other settings are the same.
I have also setup the DNS but clumsily deleted them on the cutnpaste.
Have made a bit of progress. When I ran the windows network setup it turned on the windows firewall to block file and print sharing (not very clever!). I have now turned them off and can now ping from PC to PC in both directions.
Have disabled the DHCP on the router but still cannot see the other computer.
I have also added each computer to the "trusted" list on the firewalls (Zone Alarm).
I am sure its something minor now and I just wish I knew what it is.
When I have set up a PC to PC network before (no router) each one found the other on reboot without any action from me should this be the case here?
