Good afternoon,

I want to connect two computer for file and printer sharing.  There is 
an Ethernet connection on both computers. I bought a crossover cable 
with RJ45 connectors on each end and connected the two computer using 
the cable.  When I made the connection, one of the computers began 
flashing that a network cable was disconnected.  I ran the network setup 
wizard and told it to ignore the disconnected cable.  It doesn't flash 
any more but neither do the two computers appear to be able to see each 
other.

I am a complete buffoon at this.  All I want to do in connect two 
WinXPSP2 computers. One has WinXP Pro and the other WinXP Home.  
According to everything I could find, all I needed was the right 
crossover cable and I was ready to go.  I ordered the cable and hooked 
the two computers together and no joy.  For this simple network  I think 
I have all the hardware I need.  I certainly do need some help setting 
it up, though.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks...

Loy
