Doug,
Do both machines have matching IP addresses? You need to set up
the XP
machine with the IP number 192.168.0.1 and the ME machine to get its
IP
address automatically. It will then get its IP off the XP machine
when it
boots up, but the XP machine must already have been booted up.
Do I need to put anything into the subnet mask ? - Yes you need
255.255.255.0 XP does this for you as soon as you click in the
Subnet
mask box
==============
That's now done
=============
Next you need to make sure that both machines are part of the same
Workgroup. You can name this what ever you like, but both machines
must
have different names.
============
Done.
==============
Both of these two steps will need the PC to be restarted.
Once you have that set up go to your XP machine and open IE. Now
go to
TOOLS/INTERNET OPTIONS. Go to the CONNECTIONS, and down to
SETTINGS. Now
click on PROPERTIES and then ADVANCED Here you need to tick the
first THREE
boxes for sure, and possibly the fourth one.
Now I am going to struggle as a little as I have never used, but
you may
either need a internet sharing CD to use or even the XP CD. I know
on my
two XP machines, I just go to the second machine and open IE, and
then go to
TOOLS/INTERNET OPTIONS. Go to the CONNECTIONS, and then this time
click on
LAN SETTINGS. Then you just click on automatically detect
settings. You
will need to de-select any ISP you have chosen on the connections
screen
also.
=========
would I still need to do this, even though I don't want internet
sharing
============
Also you need to check what Firewall you are using if you are.
ZONEALARM
DOES NOT WORK with internet connection sharing at all. So if you
have it,
you will have to uninstall it completely and find a different one I
am sorry
to say.
======
I've got ZA on the pc, isn't there some way of keeping the ZA and
still network the 2 pc's ?
============
Also make sure you have any folders etc shared that you want to on
each
computer, so you can check they are at least talking and working
peer to
peer as well.
Good luck,
Trevnal
==========
I have set up the drives and the folders as shared, and done
everything you suggest but still cannot share files ?
==========
All the best.
Doug.
I don't need the internet to be shared, only one pc will be using
the
internet. - If that is the cae, and you only want one to connect
to the
Net, you cna give the machine a static IP adress instead, which
makes very
little difference to you. As long at it follows the 192.168.0.XXX
then you
are fine.
Again with any firewall, make sure it allowss you LAn to go through.
They
should all do this with a few settings etc. Depending on what oen
you use,
it shoudl tell you how to do this.
Doug.
