A friend of mine is trying to configure his two PC's at home to share an
internet connection (56k dial-up). We can 10/100 NIC's in both machines
with assigned IP's, identical workgroups, and the correct protocols
(TCP/IP). However, the computers cannot see each other at all in network
neighborhood only themselves). We will be using Wingate to share the
connection and a prerequisite of running WinGate is a working
network...which we can't seem to diagnose here :).
We are using a crossover cable that I got a diagram for off the
net...perhaps I found a faulty diagram. We would very grateful for any
advice on what we may be doing wrong...and also a full-proof diagram of a
4-pair crossover cable...
Thanks guys,
Brad in Tulsa
PS: Indecently, I have a peer-to-peer at my home that worked flawlessly
after configuring it the exact same way...only difference is that in my
case, it is a desktop and a laptop and we using ICS in WIN 98 SE...no other
variables beside the brand/model of NIC's.
