Hi
I am unable to connect my win xp sp1 desktop PIII with the compaq nx7300 laptop. I have Compaq NC3121 Fast Ethernet NIC #2 on PIII installed and using usb cable to connect to internet which inturn is fully functional and laptop shows 1394 connection.
What i have done :
1)Have enabled internet connection sharing from the server’s local area connection properties for other computer.
2) Had made to run n/w setup wizard on both pc’s one as server and other as client and have used MSHOME as workgroup name on both.
3)assigned static ip address of 192.168.0.1 on server (Desktop) and on client(laptop) 192.168.0.2. with same mask of 255.255.255.0
4)After doing restarts on both pc one at a time i am unable to ping from either side one(server) shows request time out other shows destination host unreachable.
Please help. I would highly appreciate the effort.
Thanks
