I have a new computer running Windows XP Home. My old computer runs XP
Pro. I wish to transfer all my files from the old to the new so I can
dispose of the old.
Windows XP Network Setup Wizard is supposed to do all the work for you
so I ran it on both computers and linked them both via NIC with a
crossover cable. I cannot get any further than each computer'seeing'
itself under MY NETWORK PLACES / MICROSOFT WINDOWS NETWORK / MSHOME.
My knowledge is reasonable but this has got me beat. I even tried
manually giving one PC the IP address of 192.168.0.1 with a subnet mask
of 255.255.255.0 and the second the IP address of 192.168.0.2 with the
same subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 running the Network Setup Wizard again
but no joy.
I returned the settings to 'Automatic', re ran the Network Setup Wizard
on both machines again but again nothing. I have tried running IPConfig
/all from the RUN command on both machines but the DOS box disappears
before any result appears. Although I don't really know what that would
tell me but I've read it in earlier threads
Both machines have the following enabled: Client for Microsoft Networks,
File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks, QoS Packet Scheduler
and Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) with 'Enable Netbios over TCP/IP under
the WINS tab of the Advanced TCP/IP Settings found in the Properties
section.
I do not know what else to tell you but hope someone can assist me.
Please bear in mind I am not a computer tech but am not averse to
Registry hacks if necessary. Long message I know but thanks for at
least reading.
