I had our gaming sessions working just fine, but then I fiddled and stuffed everything up, and now it seems impossible to get our network back online, if anyone can sort this out you will be a god in my eyes!!!!
We have linked two pc's, one running xphome and mine xp professional and we're linked through network cards (realtek 8029) and a serial(?) (the yellow cable, no hubs or switches, it's just us two). My mates computer has the internet connection, so his LAN connection is set:
IP Address 192.168.0.1
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Gateway and DNS are blank
Mine is set at:
IP Address 192.168.0.2
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Gateway and DNS are blank
The confusing thing is that I can use the internet on my computer THROUGH his, and grab HIS files and stuff, but he cannot see my shared files in the 'workgroup' or connect to my computer, even though his LAN Status shows that he is receiving information from me!
I have read the article on this website. Internet Connection Firewall is disabled (this isn't an invitation to you guys) and the 'Network Setup Wizard' doesn't seem to be working.
I don't care about the internet connection, I just wanna play games (Battlefield 1942 was hell fun, Unreal II also kicks ass) and if ANYONE has ANY information, I would be so so so grateful!! PLEASE HELP ME!!! :shrug:
