quote: 192.168.0.1 ips are usually used for routers and switch settings, hence why i didnt go for them. However, since ive never worked with a a standard switch before, i dunno whats happening. Plus im curious to know why the XP machine is getting his broadband connection first and not the 2k machine. Plus what we both have said will knock the BB connection off, as the XP system isnt looking for the ip address from the cable modem. So i have a feeling that he will need to go into the cable modem setup (192.168.100.1 if its the silver abit modems) and set the subnet mask to that of the pcs...maybe. Like i said, im not 100% sure on all of this....all i know is that a router would be easier :lol: [Edited on 29-09-2004 by VisibleMan] | |

as for the internet, well you have a switch and as i doubt you have two ip addresses for your internet connection, then you will have to set one computer up as an "on all time net server" :( | |

Set both subnet masks to 255.255.255.0. reboot both machines and then on the .1 machine, go to my computer and type \\10.10.10.2 you should be asked to enter a username and password (usually administrator for the username etc) :) that should work and the reason behind this is because none of the machines have a DHCP server, so none of them are giving out ip address etc :) | |

Make sure they're on the same workgroup if you wanna see files on each of them. | |

can't really do that coz it doesn't have enough memory (its laptop) only has 128 mb ram. | |
