Main Pc is connected to Router

Laptop is connected to Router

Now I am having issues making the laptop and pc communicate and such.

I am a noob at this shit

Make sure sharing is on the machines

and network drive does make it easier..

magnatique · 08-28-2004, 07:13 PM

make sure of the following :

the Network Name has to be the same for both computers.

IE 'workgroup' for both for example oh and the computer names have to be different too

then, if you can see the computers in the "my network places' then you should have no prob...

make sure your hard drives are shared and that you ALLOW Everyone on them (in security section when you go to the drive's properties)

hit me up tomorrow if you have some more probs I can help you, just about to leave to catch some friends though right now!

you get it to work yet?

did you run the "Setup a Home or Small Office Network" wizard?
if not run that on both PCs and make sure the network name
is the same on both (default).

sometimes the windows firewall will prevent you from sharing
files or connecting machine-machine (but will allow both to
go online).

you can disable that by going to network connections, clicking
on your connection, advanced and uncheck firewall.

also. if you got a firewall like zonealarm or norton installed
it may also be blocking file sharing.

peace and good luck.

yeah, i was going to say.. it's probably the built in XP firewall.

pornguy · 08-28-2004, 07:50 PM

I have been fighting with the same thing. I have followed all the rules, and still have problems. I think it is something with the different versions of xp.

pussyluver · 08-28-2004, 07:51 PM

Hope you are using DHCP. That sets the IP addresses up. That can be a function of the router and should be in your network.

The router should have come with instructions on how to set everything up step by step.

There are a ton of places things can go wrong. Someone with some network knowledge should beable to do setup fairly quick. Walking you through it on the phone can work provided something didn't really get screwed up.

Sometimes the Linksys brand has problems with cable attachemnts.

Networking is what I do, if it gets to be a real pain, hit me on ICQ and I'll try to help. Best is to have someone do it for ya if it doesn't fall in place from the instructions that came with the router.

pussyluver · 08-28-2004, 07:54 PM

For more advice from everyone.

Need to know Brand of Router and it's model number

Cable or DSL attach to the internet

Wireless or cable network

OS of each machine - you said one was XP. With or without SP-2 if you know.

Home version of XP is NOT good. It doesn't support many networking functions, I'd have to look it up at Microsoft to ID which parts.

Get the IP address of Computer 1

Get the IP address of computer 2

on computer 1, at th command prompt type:

ROUTE ADD (ip of computer 2) MASK 255.255.255.255 (ip of computer 1) METRIC 1

on computer 2, on the command prompt type:

ROUTE ADD (ip of computer 1) MASK 255.255.255.255 (ip of computer 2) METRIC 1

For example, let's say computer 1's IP is 192.168.0.100 and computer 2's IP is 192.16.0.200

on computer 1, on the command prompt type

ROUTE ADD 192.168.0.200 MASK 255.255.255.255 192.168.0.100 METRIC 1

on computer 2, on the command prompt type

ROUTE ADD 192.168.0.100 MASK 255.255.255.255 192.168.0.200 METRIC 1

What we're doing here is telling both computers to NOT go out the router to talk to each other, rather, attempt to communicate directly using their own network cards as the gateway.

It certainly won't hurt anything, give it a try.

Something tells me that juicy wants to get to the Internet too :-).

So his PCs must be on the same subnet as the router. 192.168.0.1 is typical, but so are others.

If he sets static IPs as you suggest, he'll have to know the exact IP of the router and enter it as the gateway.

Best done through the control panel rather than command lines for an end user.

My

Juciy prolly has questions like:

How do I get to a command prompt? Start -> Run and type "cmd" then hit enter.

If I made the attempt to answer all the question he might have, this would be a long thread

There are plenty of folks around that could walk ya thorugh this on the phone maybe. That would be the best way unless you can get a geek to come over.

Good luck - If it gets the best of ya, give a shout on ICQ and we can connect via phone.

To be complete about comments on the command lines - the gateway can be added there. Thinking about it, maybe its the quickest way.

at the command line juicy:

ping 192.168.0.1

if you get a response, then that is prolly the gateway and would be an easy add to what Angle White said. Just add gateway 192.168.0.1 to the command line.

We're not removing his ability to get to the internet. We're telling the two machines to not go out the gateway to talk to each other.

I didn't tell him to set static IPs. I am editing his route table to avoid the gateway for PCs connected on one side of the router.

He doesn't need to know his gateway because his existing routes take care of routing internet traffic via the gateway address issued via DHCP/BOOTP from his router.

You cant set route paths from the control panel.
