I've got a mac with Windows XP 64 installed and i want to network it
to a PC with Windows XP 32.

I've bought a 'Sitecom' wired router and gone through the network
setup wizard on each... but i cant see the files on the other computer
(on both). The Sitecom people tell me it should work.

Any ideas on whats wrong/how I should do this/or what type of router i
should use?
 
Assuming not firewall turn on, can you ping each other by IP?

By the way i cant find the ip of the mac running windows xp 64 - if i
type 'ipconfig' in the command manager it wont show anything, but this
mac isnt connected to the internet.
 
Then you need to configure the TCP/IP first. This how to may help,

I've tried typing commands such as...

netsh interface ip show config
netsh int ip reset [log_file_name]

For 'netsh interface ip show config' I just get 'no more data is
available'.

I'm a complete beginner at this type of thing - what do i need to do
to start off here? How do i find/assign an ip to the mac (if thats
what i need to do)? I really need to get these networked.

Any help much appreciated!
