This is driving me nuts, I'm new to this sort of thing...
I have a notebook and a desktop, both running Windows XP Professional.
I want to simply connect them with a crossover cable.
I put in the correct IPs and subnet mask and enabled file sharing on
both C: drives. I can't see the other computer in 'My network places'
on either computer. I've went through the Network Wizard a number of
times.
The only thing I've been able to accomplish is managing to share a
dial up internet connection from my notebook to my desktop, but I
still can't swap files between the two.
What is the correct procedure for doing this? Are there some settings
that I should check out?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
