I have a home network setup which is running all 100mbps.
All PCs are connected to a 100mbps ADSL router/modem and
everything works fine.
I now want to connect 2 of these PCs to each other
directly via gigabit NICs and crossover cable for high
speed file sharing. I can't take the gigabit into the
switch as the switch is only 100mbps, but I do still want
these 2 PCs to have visibilty, and file sharing, to the
other PCs in the home network, and visibility to the
internet via the the router. I don't really want to fork
out several hundred dollars for a gigabit switch at the
moment.
I have physically set up both PCs with both 100mbps
(DHCP) and gigabit NICs (Static IP), and I can still get
to all other PCs and the net via the 100mbps NICs, and
both of these machines can ping each other via IP address
across the gigabit NICs.
I am having real problems however with trying to do file
sharing.
I thought that I may be able to do a 'NET USE' specifying
an IP address but that doesn't work. Is there anyway that
I can do what I am trying to do?
Sorry about the long post.
