i decided to network my laptop to my desktop via a 5m crossover cable, it
started with me pulling my hair out at the fact that my desktop would not
ping, so then i changed the the slot it was pluged into. hara it worked, ran
the network set up wizard and still i do not seem to be able to connect the
two machines, it would be dead handy to share file, printer and net
connection (which it through the built in LAN connection). my desktop is
running xp pro with sp2 with patch and laptop is xp home sp2 with patch, am i
missing something?
