Home networking between XP pro and NT wk

by dmm721 . Updated 24 years, 4 months ago

I am trying to set up a home network to no avail
On the main computer I am running Windows XP pro with a cable modem in one NIC and a Crossover cable to the other computer in another NIC. Both NIC’s are 3com same model (I have heard they should be different but not sure).

On the second computer I am running Windows NT workstation with SP 6 the crossover cable goes to a kingston NIC.

I have checked the cable, NIC’s, and everything else I can thing of.

Is there anything else I might try. The second computer is a 200Mhz with 48 mb of ram. I just ordered 128 mb of ram for it, so that i can install Win2K pro and try that instead of NT what could i be doing wrong?
