Networking wizard problems
Toshiba laptop XP
Compaq desktop XP
I have two computers connected by a crossover cable.
I have had success before networking these two computers. Not tonite :-(
Today at the local library(laptop) I did set up a Local Area Connection to connect with the libraries network. I later saw that I did not have a good ethernet cable from the library, I used their cable, the clip was broken off. I was later able to hook to their network fine.
I have the Desktop PC setup, and it saves the networking wizard promps. The name of the computer shows up in the Local Network under My Network Places. It show three,the C drive, and two seperate shareddocs, just as before
On the laptop I have it setup the same way as the desktop, same prompts, a different computer name, same workgroup.
The folders drives, never show up, the Local Network never shows up under my Network places.
I look on the back of my Desktop, the ethernet cable is green light is lit up.
I look on the back of my laptop, it lits up on boot, then the green light goes out.
When rebooting the laptop, the desktop says network unplugged.
