p4Ster Posted September 7, 2003 Posted September 7, 2003 (edited) I ran network setup wizard on each computer and did everthing i could think of to try and get these computers to connect to share files, printer, ect. All computer is connected to a 5 port workgroup switch from Linksy's that is uplinked to a dsl modem. All the computers have internet connection so i know that nothing is wrong with any wires. I dont know if some settings may be wrong or if something is busted. All computers is running on Windows Xp pro. I dont know what else to do so here i am. If anyone has any information that you think might be of some use to me please please do tell. All computers is running on Windows Xp pro. now the pic below is how my workgroup is setup. Im sure that it is set up correctly. Edited September 7, 2003 by p4Ster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LobbDogg Posted September 7, 2003 Posted September 7, 2003 Make sure the built in Windows Firewall is turned off! That thing causes more headaches than I can think of. It works good I guess for internet use, but once you want to share files, forget it. Check to see if that is enabled or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

p4Ster Posted September 9, 2003 Posted September 9, 2003 go to start.run/command/ipconfig and see if the ipaddress is working properly how am i supose to know if it is running correctly? It gives me an ip adress, a subnet mask, and a default gatway. Is that correct enough? Well whats the next step? Geez this is so complicated. I though that sp supose to make all this networking and internet stuff easy to use. <_< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
