Hi!
I apologise if this is in the wrong section!
I am trying to network my 2 home pcs together. One is XP (home) the other is a win2k machine.
I have set the xp box as 192.168.0.1 and the win2k machine as 192.168.0.2.
I have set the domain on both machines to HOME.
The problem is - the XP machine can ping the win2k, but not see it when you try to view the network.
The win2k machine cannot ping the xp machine - request times out.
YET! when you change the win2k machine's IP address to the same as XP - BOTH machines flick up an IP address conflict.
XPs machine has the silly built in firewall turned off.
can ANYONE advise where the H*ll im going wrong before I lose all my hair!
Cheers
