I connected two pcs using a crossover cable both running xp and mcafee internet security.The ip address assined to gigabyte pc was 192.168.0.2, subnet mask 255.255.255.0,default ip 192.168.0.1. The ip address assined to intel pc was192.168.0.1 , subnet mask 255.255.255.0,default ip 192.168.0.1. I shared folders on both the pcs and ran xp network setup on both.From gigabyte i could access files on intel but not vice versa,error cannot find the pc or access denied. In view workgroup computers both pcs are seen on both the computers.Please guide!

default gateway
Change the default gateway of the gigabyte PC to its own IP address.
192.168.0.2
192.168.0.2

Firewalls
turn off your firewalls and reboot both machine. I believe you do not need a default gateway

You can try other protocols
Using tcp/ip between 2 PCs can be difficult
You need to make 1 a server
To do this share a dialup connection
Or you can install the NetBEUI Protocol
For Windows XP
The instructions are found on the Windows CD
In the folder
Valueadd \ Msft \ Net \ Netbeui
Read the Netbeui.txt file for instructions
You can also try the IPX/SPX/NetBIOS Compatible Transport Protocol
