Hi Trevnal,
Not sure where we are on this, but did you have any other ideas ?
Doug.

yes next you yous in the ==================== boxes
=========
would I still need to do this, even though I don't want internet
sharing - no this s only for ICS
============
======
I've got ZA on the pc, isn't there some way of keeping the ZA
and
still network the 2 pc's ? You can keep it, but you need to
configue
ZoneAlarm to allow your network.
============
==========
I have set up the drives and the folders as shared, and done
everything you suggest but still cannot share files ? can you
ping
127.0.0.1 or the other PC's IP number and reach it?

Hi,
Was there a reply ?

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 - no this s only for ICS
============
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 ? You can keep it, but you need to
configue
ZoneAlarm to allow your network.
============
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

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.
