2 pc with xp both hp brand with realtek nic’s
straight utp cables to a linksys switch
ran network setup on both pcs….no conn
assigned static ip to both…nope
all protocols, client, file&print, Qos both pcs
pc 1 can ping 2 but 2 can’t ping 1
both in same workgroup
can’t ping either by pc name
did get pc1 onto pc2 workgroup but says can’t connect may not have permission, all users have permission
am i missing something simple
I’m stumped any thoughts would be appreciated, mike
