I am trying to set up a small network between two computers using a crossover cable. I am running xp on one machine and Win2K on the other. I have all the tcp/ip setting set up correct and the ethernet cards are set correct and working. I have the workgroup set up as well as file sharing turned on. For some reason, neither machine will see the other. I am pretty sure that the cable is fine because if i unplug the cable anywhere, both machines say that the network cable has benn unplugged. I have set up networks before, but using hubs or switches, never have i used a crossover cable. One more question as well. Do i have to use file sharing in order to see the other computer. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
