Hello guys.
I have two PCs running xp sp2. I have successfully set up a crossover connection between the two and i can access each other files. The internet gateway is set up but i cant access the net from the guest pc. I have disabled the firewall on the host pc but no luck. I havent tried disabling the windows firewall on both pcs, could that be it?
The firewall was norton personal firewall 2004.
I have used the same cable that i use for my normal crossover connection and that works fine. All ip configurations are correct coz windows did it automatically and the gateway ip address is rite as i checked in ipconfig.
Im using a realtek NIC, which has only one light. could that be for pro networks and not crossover? "PCI Bus Network Adapter"
Any ideas or suggestions welcome.
Thanks in advance
