Problem connecting two computers

[Valhalla2000]

I was trying to share files on two Win2K computers. I have two network card installed and connected to the hub. But on the network neighborhood nothing showed up, what should i do ? Thank you!

Well first off, are you sure you have TCP/IP setup properly (if you're using it, if not try NetBEUI). Next would be to try and ping the loopback address which is 127.0.0.1 on each machine and see if that responds. If that works try pinging the actual IP address on the machine. Asumming all this checks out, try pinging the other machine, if that works then everything is fine, if not you may want to try switching the ports on the hub, and maybe even a different set of CAT5 cables.

there may be a simpler answer.. set them both to be in the same "workgroup". after that, ping, etc.
