Connecting XP machine to Win2K via crossover

[Guest]

I have broadband on my xp machine and i wish to share it with my windows 2000
machine but first i am trying to get them to connect to each other. I have
enabled file and printer sharing and have connected them via a crossover
cable but it isn't working. I have now placed both machines on subnet mask
255.255.0.0 and the xp machine has ip address 200.0.0.1 and the win2k machine
is 200.0.0.2 which stopped xp from telling my that there was limited
functionality on the network but i still cannot share files.

They are both on HOME workgroup and the 2000 machine can only see itself.
The XP machine can see itself and the 200 machine although it cannot access
it saying "\\xxx is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this
network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you
have access permissions. The network path was not found"

The XP firewall is turned off. Please help this is driving me crazy!!!!!!!

Please don't multi post. See my answer to your other post.

Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.

Sorry I didn't mean to multipost, the first time I posted it told me my post
was unsuccessful. I will try the things you have suggested.
