i got 2 computers hookedup to a router... on each of them i went setup home network, then select that it connected to the hub... it goes seccessul, and i do the same think on the other computer... then i got share drive as on both computers.... but they dont see each other in my network places...

i want to tranfer some data from one to another, but it doesnt see it... what am i doing wrong ? i been trying for hours :(
 
What is your OS ? XP HOME, XP PROF ?

click start, then run
type sysdm.cpl , hit enter
click the tab computer name
click the change tab near the bottom
on the workgroup , make sure that is selected , both PC's need to have the same workgroup name.
then click start / run ,,, type ncpa.cpl press enter
right click your network connection, click properties
highlight tcp/ip click properties, make sure that obtain ip auto is selected
are you using dhcp on your router ?

thx... but all i had to do is disable firewall ... took me 3 hours to figure that out :/
 
some firewalls you have to configure. some you do not.
I am sure that if flush01 enables the firewall and configures it correctly it will pass his network.
