Adjust windows Firewall Settings

by robo_dev · 7 years ago In reply to cannot see access other p ...

Default setting is 'no exceptions' which does not allow local networking to work.

Unless you have a Novell Netware server, you do not need or want nwlink ipx protocol.

The main things you need is the 'file and print sharing for microsoft networks.

Note that the two devices need to have the same workgroup name. The default in XP is 'workgroup', but not sure about Win7.

ICS changing you IP

by nadeeja9 · 7 years ago In reply to cannot see access other p ...

HI, the issue might be due to the fact that you have enabled ICS, which when enabled for the first time changes your Ip for the network, so your IP would most probably not be the same IP pool of the LAN, therefore I suggest you manually change your IP to an available ip on your lan, let me know if this helped,

you standard IPs should be like 192.168.1.1 and onwards unless you specified otherwise. the default IP set by windows when ICS is enabled is usually is 192.168.137.1, so change this IP to be in the same class as your LAN, therefore the first three numbers of the IP should be the same( eg: if your other two computers have a IPs such as 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.3 then put your ICS enabled computers IP in the same class with an IP of anything with 192.168.0.)
