Partial Home network working

G

Guy

I have my two laptops (each with internal NIC)connected
with a patch cable. I ran the netwok wizard on each with
no errors. The connection icons show live and I can see
both members of the workgroup from the host but canot
access the 2nd computer. On the 2nd unit it can see the
workgroup but no member computers, not even itself.
INternet (cable Mode) works on host but not at all on 2nd
machine.

Guy,

Please provide ipconfig information for each computer.
Start - Run - "cmd". Type "ipconfig /all >c:\ipconfig.txt" into the command
window - Open c:\ipconfig.txt in Notepad, copy and paste into your next post.

From each computer, test connectivity:
1) Ping the other by name.
2) Ping the other by ip address.
3) Ping itself by name.
4) Ping itself by ip address.
5) Ping 127.0.0.1.
6) Ping the router.
Report success / failure of each test (12 tests total).

What operating system (name, version, and service pack) on each computer?

Is the "patch cable" a cross-over cable?

And Guy, please don't contribute to the spread and success of email address
