Subject: Windows 2000 networking problem


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.
