Have patience, run Network Configuration Wizard, restart the computer. MAKE SURE YOU SET THE SAME WORKGROUP NAME FOR BOTH STATIONS!! Otherwise it will take Windows forever to change recognize it after you have changed it. But just have patience, once Windows XP came along networking got just a little bit harder to get started as opposed to WIN98.

Make sure your computers have network cards. You can directly plug them together with an ethernet cable. Use Windows networking features from there.\n\nDo some google searching if you get stuck.\n\nThere are more elaborate ways of networking computers too.

is your broadband connection wireless (no wires whatsoever) or is it a wired connection?\nif you're using wireless, you're ISP (Internet Service Provider) may require you to configure their settings on your laptop.\n\nif it is a wired connection, then what system are you running, win98? winXP? win2000?\nif yer using winXP, configuring yer broadband connection won't be too hard. winXP has 'user-friendly' features for configuring a broadband connection.\n\nare you using an iMac?\nwell, an iMac is a totally different concern.

if you are on diff ip networks, but same physical network, jumping a cable over will cause problems. try typing the ip adress of the other computer into your browser.\n\n&#92;&#92;10.0.x.x

That's really a complex question.  You might try to ask a few questions with a little more direct ideas.\n\n"Network" in general is just a connection of many single devices or computers.  There are basically two types of networks.  LANs (Local Area Network) with a set of computers connected in a private network.  Or WAN (Wide Area Network) of which the most popular WAN is the Internet, though this can be used to describe large networks over many locations.\n\nI'll stick to "LAN" for this explaination.  A LAN is a connection of a few or many computers in a private setting.  Like in a home you can connect two computers together with Windows XP by simply plugging both machines into a Switch or Router.  I recommend using a router as it provides a little more control over the network and allows a single broadband internet connection to work with both computers at the same time.  With Windows XP the setup of a network is fairly easy with little or no special actions required.  Just connect and it should work.\n\nOnce connected both computers can share information and pereferials like drives and printers.  To share a device, simply right click on the icon for that device and choose "sharing" in the menu that appears.\n\nI hope that this basic explaination helps.  Again, please ask more detailed questions for better indepth answers.

Thats what I want to is well and here is the answer when I asked: (I havent tried it yet)\n\n"The USB cable will not work for you. You will need to purchase a crossover cable, a special network cable, to connect the two computers. Then, the XP network setup wizard should be able to help you do the rest."

just go to the nearest computer store or Radio Shack and ask for crossover cable to connect to computers together, Thay'll know what you talkin about. You don't need to spend alot for a brand-name like Belkin. Also, it's are pretty easy to make it yourself.

I don't know what you've tried, but if you've already tried the "&#92;&#92;{HostComputername}&#92;" then I would setup a FTP Server on the host machine. One thing though, try doing the WinXP Network Setup Wizard and make a Network Install disk and install it on the other computer!

Yes you can, either buy a cross over cable, or make one!\n\nThe cheapest way and, not always the most appealing method\n\nClip the following wires in half.\n\nSolid green\nSolid orange\nWhite with green stripe\nWhite with orange stripe\n\nNow cross these wires as follows:\n\nSolid green on end one crosses with solid orange on end two.\nSolid orange on end one crosses with solid green on end two.\n\nWhite with green stripe on end one crosses with white with orange stripe on end two\n\nWhite with orange stripe on end one crosses with white with green stripe on end two.\n\nYou can use this method to splice the wires instead of getting a crimper, but it is advised to solder the wires together, and cover well with electrical tape, or shrink-wrap.\n\nThis is a bit ghetto, but informative I suppose.\n\nRun the Internet connection sharing wizard in windows.\n\nDo keep in mind that unless you use the USB cable supplied with your modem "I do not recommend" you will need two Ethernet cards in the PC connected to the modem.\n\nOne for connecting to the modem and  one to connect to the other computer.\n\nMyself I prefer using a router, ICS is just not reliable enough for me!

The best and safest way for you to network your two PC's is to purchase a router with 4 port switch.\n\nUse one PC to follow the router setup wizard.\n\nYour ADSL modem will connect to the routers WAN port and the to PC's will connect to two of the routers LAN ports.\n\nOnce you have one PC successfully connected to the internet through the router use the Windows Network Setup Wizard to create your local area network.\n\nGo to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Network Setup Wizard\n\nNext > select "This computer connects to the Internet through a residential gateway... > Next > give each PC a unique name > Next > Provide the SAME workgroup name for both PC's > Next > select Turn on file and printer sharing > Next > apply these settings > Next.\n\nEach PC should now have a unique name and belong to the same workgroup.  Each PC should also have Network Share folders under My Computer.  This shared folder should be visible from the other PC.\n\nTo share a specific folder on a PC go to Windows Explorer > select the folder to be shared > Right mouse click > select Sharing and Security > and follow the directions for the type of sharing you want.\n\nTo find the other networked PC go to: Windows Explorer > My Network Places > Microsoft Windows Network > [your workgroup] > and all your networked PCs associated with your workgroup should be visible.  You can now expand the PC to see what folders and devices are shared.

Configure the network adapters on both the PCs in Half Duplex mode and verify if this resolves the issue. This can be done as follows: -\nStep 1: Go to Start> Control Panel > and select Network connections.\n\nStep 2: Right click on your network card (for 2000 and XP only)and select Properties.\n\nStep 3: Select the Configure button.\n\nStep 4: Under the Advanced tab you will see two boxes; Property and Value. \n\nNote: Depending on the type of Ethernet card you are using the headings in the Property box will be slightly different.\n\nStep 5: Select each heading in the Properties box until the Value box displays the speed of your Ethernet card (it will look like this: Auto-Negotiation, 10Mb Full, 100 MB Half, etc..). You want to select 10mb Full Duplex.\n\nStep 6: Keep clicking OK until you get to the desktop. Your computer may ask you to reboot depending on the version of Windows you are running.

I have added some links for you to look at, hope this solves your problem.\nhttps://www.radiant.net/techdocs/WinXPPPoEClassic.pdf#search='xp%20pppoe%20setup'\nhttp://www.internode.on.net/support/adsl/win-xp-pppoe.htm\nhttp://www2.dslextreme.com/KB/article.aspx?id=10090&cNode=6V0A4P\n\nHope this helps

Sounds like a firewall problem. Make sure port 23 is open on both PCs. Or, alternatively, use a different port you know is open.

Check your calbe. at one end the colors of the wires shold be, in this order: white-orange,orage,white-green,blue,white-blue,green,white-brown,brown and at the other end it should be: white-green,green,white-orange,blue,white-blue,orage,white-brown,brown. If not it's not a cross-over cable.\nIf the cable is ok thencheck out your IP settings. Try setting 192.168.1.1 on one computer and 192.168.1.2 an the other and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 on both. Make sure both computers are in the same workgroup. After that share files:)\nHope you make it

You need a Y connector that will cost you less then half dollar, install a lan card in second computer, configure its IP and Connect both of your pc with the single Cable Connection line, but remember your cable operator can sniff that you are using two computers and charge you double. Your both pc will not able to connect to each other but will able to connect cable net.\nTo avoid double charging you may need a cascading proxy server. and to connect both computer to one another you will need a hub or switch.

Crossover\n\nThats the kind of cable you  will need for sharing between 2 computers connected directly..\n\nafter that is done...you will need to set up Both of your computers to enable File and Printer Sharing./

if you are using windowsXP's built-in firewall, it doesn't offer much functionality. \n\n1-If you have an internal or USB modem, install another firewall (but not zonealarm) and try port blocking.\n2-If you are behind a router, or a modem which is connected to your computer via an ethernet cable, check your router's manual and type the console's IP in your browser, follow the instructions on the manual to port blocking.
