Hi tonymaclennan,

I don't know much about it, but I would try to help
Fill in your Ip's manually
for example
PC1:
IP: 192.168.1.10
Subnetmask:255.255.255.0
getway:192.168.1.11
PC2:
IP:192.168.1.11
Subnetmask: 255.255.255.0
getway: 192.168.1.10

If you go to your command prompt and give the command: ping 192.168.1.10 or 11
and you get a reply, you have a connection between the 2 computers.

Is this what u were looking for?

Thanks Lieke, that was just what I was looking for. It was very helpful.
I have done that and tried it, now, the primary computer can connect to secondary comp fine by going in to network places, but the secondary computer cant acess the priamry computer. i have been to my network places but there is nothing in there, I tried adding one with the IP address but it refused.
Any more information that could solve this would be apreciated?

Thanks

I now have it set-up.
I can access the files in shared area on the comp now. I created a short cut in there to my documents, then when accessing it with the other comp the short cut went to y documents area on my comp (secondary).
How can I access files on the primary computer and share the internet connection?
