I have a pc running XP, and a laptop running 2000 pro. Im trying to connect them directly using a xover cable, just to share files on them, but I cant get the connection to work. The PC is setup with an ip of 192.168.0.2, laptops is 192.168.0.3. When I try to ping from the laptop, I get an error saying "PING: transmit failed, error code 65". I cant ping from the PC either but its the standard fail message. Im at my wits end as I cant seem to connect them, any help would be great
