I am trying to network my 2 Windows 2000 (one is Windows 2000 Server and the other is Windows 2000 Advanced Server) computers at home without a hub and using crossed cabling.
The IP addresses assigned to the 2 systems are 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2 with the same subnet mask 255.255.255.0 without any gateway and no DNS server. I haven't set up an domains and added both the computers to WORKGROUP. I am able to ping one system from the other using IP addresses as well as hostnames (I have also made the entry in the hosts files in System32/Drivers/etc) but I am unable to browse using \\IP_Address neither do the systems appear in My Network Places. What could be causing this problem? I am very new to networking and at a complete loss. ------ You are subscribed as [email protected] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
