trouble routing between pc's

[Guest]

i have two pc's in my room, both running windows xp sp2, they both have
ethernet cards which are connected to a hub/adsl router, which connects them
to the internet and also to other computers on my network, which are in
differant rooms. the two computers in my room have the following ip's,
computer A(Phoenix):10.0.0.16 ; and computer B(Slinky):10.0.0.12 ; they both
also have an IEEE 1394 port, i want to be able to route any information that
needs to go from computer A to computer B (and vice versa) through the IEEE
1394 cable, so they can communicate through 1394, but still both use there
ethernet cards to get to other computers on my network and the internet..

can anyone help, or reccommend an internet site that may be able to help me?

Thanks tIm.

If both computers have two network connections, you can adjust the static route
table to designate the 1394 ports on a super private LAN. You'll have to
specify the connections, when you make them, by ip address - the names Phoenix
and Slinky will probably resolve to the regular private LAN attached to the
router.

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.

Provide static route table for each computer.
Start - Run - "cmd". Type "route print >c:\route.txt" into the command window -
Open c:\route.txt in Notepad, copy and paste into your next post.

Cheers,

If you setup the 1394 ports with standard dynamic addressing they should
each choose an IP address from 169.254.x.x and this will not conflict
with your private Internet-attached network of 10.0.0.x. However, in
order to use the same IP address so that your host table entry will
remain valid, you might want to statically configure them for something
like 10.0.1.x or some other private IP subnet.

If you setup hosts table entries for the computers like so:

10.0.1.1 phoenix-1394
10.0.0.16 phoenix
10.0.1.2 slinky-1394
10.0.0.12 slinky

then when you refer to "phoenix-1394" the traffic will flow over the
1394 cable and when you refer to "slinky" the traffic will flow over the
ethernet. No need for routing table entries, since the interface specs
create the appropriate routing table entries and the hosts table allows
you to choose IP address using names.
