Hi Mark, I have done all that. The crossover cable is okay. NeTBEUI is working fine. I can see both computers through Network Neigbourhood; copy files from one computer to the other. Everthing about NetBEUI is kool. I have alos edited the hosts/lmhost files on each computer (this only help to resolve the IP Address to the netbios name.)
IP addresses are Computer A=192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0 and Computer B=192.168.0.2/255.255.255.0 On Computer A, I can ping 192.168.0.1, localhost and 127.0.0.1 and it will response fine. On Computer B, I can also ping 192.168.0.2, localhost and 127.0.0.1 and it will response fine. (TCP/IP stack seems perfectly installed)!!! But I cannot ping A from B, neither can I ping B from A. This is the dumbest thing I have ever done and it is messing me up. Or is it impossible? ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark W.
