Connecting two Computers using Twisted Pair Cable
Connecting two Computers using Twisted Pair Cable
(OP)
Hi,
I am trying to connect a Laptop (Windows 2000 Professional) to a PC (Windows XP Professional) using a twisted pair cable a the ethernet cards on both, to configure I used on the laptop the following setup
I/P Address: 10.114.0.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
And on the PC
I/P Address: 10.114.0.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
The workgroup for both is "HOME", the intention is to backup a bunch of information and several folders from the Laptop to the PC, right now I am only able to browse the workgroup on the Laptop being able to see the PC but when I try to access the shared files or folders it brings up an errror that I cannot access the computer while on the PC I am not even able to browse the workgroup for an unknown reason. If somebody can hellp me with this I will really appreciate it.
Thanks
JM

You might also try posting this question on Tek-Tips, which is much more oriented to computer networking and software. It sounds like there's some configuration issues on both computers.
