I have two laptops both running Windows 7. I have connected them through a crossover cable and configured following settings
Laptop 1
IP - 192.168.0.2
Submask - 255.255.255.0
Gateway - 192.168.0.1
Laptop 2
IP - 192.168.0.3
Submask - 255.255.255.0
Gateway - 192.168.0.1
I am unable to see the computers in Network locations. I also tried to ping but resulted in error showing Destination Unreachable.
Strangely when I tried the same settings in Ubuntu on same laptops it worked. I can easily ping to each other and can also transfer files through ssh and ftp. But on Windows they even not get connected.
I have tried disabling firewall but it didn't worked. The workgroup is same on both laptops.
