Network Problem?

Hi, I am trying to make a network between 2 computers and somehow or another I can't make the connection. Now I tried all these possibilieties:





1) Same network name


2) Auto IP


3) Windows firewall off


4) Zonealarm firewall off


5) Network cable ok and network card ok





Can someone please tell me if I need to check something else? Thank you

Network Problem?
how are you connecting the PCs? if your using a switch or hub then use straight through cables, if your connecting them directly to eachother, you need a crossover cable,
Reply:You may have tried to see if they are in the same Workgroup.





Ensure that file sharing is enabled in your neywork tools.
Reply:run the windows network wizard on BOTH computers. it's on the control panel.





use the "other" option on the first choice selection window, and "direct connection to another computer" on the second
Reply:Are you using a router or straight cable connect? If cable connect, then you need what's called a null ethernet cable, also known as a crossover cable.
