how to setup the ip adress for my network?

[DanPopescu]

I have a laptop(windows xp home) and a desktop pc(windows xp pro)
The connection between both of them and to the internet is made through a router d link di 624. Wireless connection for laptop, cable to the PC
Everything was working ok until I have have made some changes:
for both of them I setup the Ip address statically
Pc has 192.168.0.100 and the laptop has 192.168.0.101
for the default gateway and dns servers I have identically values for both of the computers: 192.168.0.1

I can not make any files transfer between the 2 computers ( I was able to do this when my I adresses were dynamically - they are part of the same workgroup).
Now I have internet connection on both but no transfer between them
Can anyone help me how to be able to transfer files between them when I have a static IP?
thanks

A couple of things come to mind:

Did you disable DHCP on the router after configuring the static IP on each NIC? I am assuming you are not using the router's static assignment of IPs.

Did you set the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 on both cards?

 

[DanPopescu]

on both of them i have 255.255.255.0 about the DHCP I do not know how to disable it but I will try to find how to do it

 

[DanPopescu]

I disabled DHCP server and it did not work the same message the network path was not found

 

[Freestone]

From an Internet Explorer windows, in the address bar type in the address of your router, most likely 192.168.0.1, User Name will be Admin, and the password would be whatever you set it to. Once in, from the DI-624's Home tab, select the DHCP button and you'll see the radio button that will allow you to disable the router's DHCP function.

You could also just try assigning static IPs outside of the router's DHCP range, which by default is 192.168.0.100 thru 192.168.0.199. Try, for example, 192.168.0.50 and 192.168.0.51

Another thing you can try is to open a command prompt and try PINGing the computers, e.g. from the PC with the 192.168.0.100 address, issue ping 192.168.0.101 and vice-versa.

Those are some options from my router

WAN Settings
Please select the appropriate option to connect to your ISP.
Dynamic IP Address Choose this option to obtain an IP address automatically from your ISP. (For most Cable modem users)
Static IP Address Choose this option to set static IP information provided to you by your ISP.

 

[Freestone]

Don't change any options for the WAN side of things as this is your connection to the Internet. You are experiencing problems on the LAN side.

 

[DanPopescu]

I succeded to see from pc the files from laptop. It was the norton internet 2006 - I added the laptop Ip to the allowed computers. But when I am trying from the laptop I can not see the files from the desktop pc

 

[Freestone]

The pings indicate that the PCs have their TCP/IP configured correctly.

From where are you attempting to transfer files?

Can the PCs see each other from My Network Places, Entire Network, Microsoft Windows Network?

 

[DanPopescu]

yes of course - I can see both of the computers from microsoft windows network

 

[Freestone]

So back to the basic question, I guess.

What is the problem? A file transfer from Windows Explorer, or ?

 

[DanPopescu]

no the problem is in this momment i can access the laptop from desktop and from laptop i cannot access the desktop.

 

[Freestone]

Sorry, didn't aee the post about laptop not seeing files from the desktop PC. I don't have Norton,, so can't help much there. Does it have separate settings for inbound and outbound connections?

 

[franklin97355]

Make you have a share set up on the desktop and permissions are set to allow others to see it. XP Pro has tighter security than the home version.

 

[DanPopescu]

no it has a home networking zone where you can put in the trusted zone the ip-s you want to share the files and printers

 

[DanPopescu]

win firewall is off only norton is on - I am in DMZ zone on router with the desktop
