I am helping a friend setup a network (from Long distance) He is using a Dlink 604 and has two WIndows XP pro computers hooked up on it. Initially he tried to set up ICS to set up the network. I told him later that the Dlink Router would set the network up for him. Both systems can access the internet but cannot see each other in mY network places. A search for both computers is unsucessful. You can ping from one computer and find the other but cannot ping from that one back and see it? The one that is not succesful pinging is the one he tried to setup ICS on
THe differences in the two for settings are in Network settings the succesful (pinger) has Local Area Connection Enabled and 1394 Connection Enabled. The unsucessful (pinger) has both these two and also an Internet Gateway enabled
I am trying to fix this over the phone for him or maybe by remote access.
Can anyone help?
 
OK, we are now able to ping each other over the network but unable to see each other. We have tried to search each computer with no luck
