Setting up a peer to peer network |
|
|
I really need some assistance.......
I'm setting up (actually frustrated as all get out) a peer to peer network
between 2 computers - one is XP Pro and the other is W2K Pro. Both are
plugged in to a 4 port Netgear Hub. Both configured with same workgroup
name and ip addresses are 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.3
Ran network setup and have configured as direct connect and tried again with
them set as connecting to another network. I never see the other in windows
explorer under the workgroup name (in Windows network). No internet is a
part of the mix right now as I'm in an extended stay suites hotel and their
network connection has to be dhcp.
PLEASE suggestions to try.......... Thank you in advance |

Follow Carey's link for what is surely more
systematic help but below are some assorted
ideas and clarfications (requests and suggestions.)

The first thing in such networks (if they run TCP/IP) is
to PING:
Can you ping by address?
By name?
On 192.168.1.1:
ping 192.168.1.3
ping OtherMachineName
If this works you HAVE a network. And it is a matter
of figuring out how to get you access to resources and
such.

Not real clear what you mean here. If both machines
have ordinary network cards (NICs), with IP addresses
there really is little else to "configure" - for the network
itself.

Machines (even on the same subnet as yours are) do not
appear in Network Neighborhood UNLESS you share at
least one resource from that machine.
(Right click on a directory in Explorer and use the sharing
tab....)

That can actually be overcome but it would complicate
things to explain right now, and you may not even need
it by the time you get this.

can you ping each other by ip? if yes, can you ping by name?
