On the Host computer, please goto Start --> Run --> type \\192.168.0.3 -- Press enter.. You should either connect to the Client, or recieve an error (give it a minute or two; there is often a delay). An even better idea would be to type in a full path to a file on the Client computer that you have shared.. So, share a file and then type in the full path name to it; ie: \\192.168.0.3\D\Shared_Folder\myFile -- eg: \\192.168.0.3\D\Music\someSong.mp3 -- what happens here?
Run> \\net view systemax Host message as beforeAlso on the Host computer, please goto Start --> Run --> type \\net view COMPUTER_NAME where COMPUTER_NAME is the name of the Client computer.. Please post any errors that appear.
Modified the Registry entry on both PCs - unfortuneately still the same I can only see the Host in 'MY Network Places' on the HostIf you could not connect to the Client using either of these methods, on both computers please goto Start --> Run --> type regedit and press OK --> Now, navigate to the following Key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
--> With the key Lsa selected/highlighted, in the right-pane, look for the value restrictanonymous (there is a value restictanonymoussam directly below; ensure that you do not select this value.) --> right click this value, select Modify and change the decimal value to 0 (zero) --> Close regedit and reboot the computer. After doing this on both computers, attempt to connect again; are you able to?
I can't stand Zone Alarm. Please add both computers to the trusted zone --Client message from Zone Alarm "The firewall has blocked Internet access to your computer (NetBios session)from 217.42.74.41(TCP Port 1338)(TCP flags S)
I've amended Zone Alarm and can ping both PCs with the Firewall on (By the way your Malware guys recommend Zone Alarm !) The Windows Firewall is turned off (just for information)I can't stand Zone Alarm. Please add both computers to the trusted zone --
Once done, restart both computers and then attempt to connect again. Does Zone Alarm still popup with a message? Are you able to connect?
Has anything changed? If not, restart both computers back into normal mode and then continue..On the Host computer, please goto Start --> Run --> type \\192.168.0.3 -- Press enter.. You should either connect to the Client, or recieve an error (give it a minute or two; there is often a delay). An even better idea would be to type in a full path to a file on the Client computer that you have shared.. So, share a file and then type in the full path name to it; ie: \\192.168.0.3\D\Shared_Folder\myFile -- eg: \\192.168.0.3\D\Music\someSong.mp3 -- what happens here?
Also on the Host computer, please goto Start --> Run --> type \\net view COMPUTER_NAME where COMPUTER_NAME is the name of the Client computer.. Please post any errors that appear.
As always, feel free to jump in at any timedan - i'm gonna sit and observe for a second...if i get any idea's i'll chime in..as usual
I'll uninstall this but I'm sorry I have no idea what IPv6 is or what I might be using it for - I notice its not enabled (no tick)On the Client computer, I see that you have the IPv6 protocol installed; is there any reason you need/want this protocol? If not, please remove it --

ipconfig/all results for both PCs - I dont have a router its just a direct cable connection between two Ethernet cardsCould you then please repost the IPCONFIG /ALL's connected to your router, and also not connected.
I'm trying to follow these instructions but they dont seem to quite tie in with what i'm seeing - am I right in thinking I should be opening Network Connections then New Connection Wizard ?I'm going to suggest a different method of setting up ICS; if it doesn't help, we can always go back to the other.
Sorry, that was a canned speech that I simply copy/paste; ignore the router comment as I was supposed to remove itipconfig/all results for both PCs - I dont have a router its just a direct cable connection between two Ethernet cards
Just goto Start --> Programs --> Accessories --> Communications --> Network Setup Wizard.. That's another method of getting to what I was talking about.am I right in thinking I should be opening Network Connections then New Connection Wizard ?
nope..that would have absolutely no bearing on this at all as the only pertinant restriction in home is that it can't join a domain...Just a thought the problem is nothing to do with the fact that one PC is Win XP Pro and the other Win XP Home is it ?
I will be able to upgrade my Broadband connection to 8mg (max) in the not to distant future (weeks not months) and from reading what I have already received from my ISP I will require a modem/router to replace my Broadband modemin the beginning of the thread...an adsl modem/router was discussed...is that still on the table as an option? or no?
That 'theoretically' is a bit worrying, can I assume that the setting up of a 2 PC network will be fairly straightforwardA router would most definitely make this process alot simpler (theoretically)
