As part of configuring TCP/IP on these machines, you need to have
given each of them an IP address. On machine A, pull up a DOS window
and type "ping xx.xx.xx.xx" where xx.xx.xx.xx is the IP address you
configured on machine B. If your cabling and IP address/subnet mask
configuration are correct, this will show round-trip timing
statistics; if your configuration is wrong, it will report timeouts.
If this doesn't work, please ask again. And this time, describe
the cabling you are using to connect and the address/mask/gateway
settings on each machine.
