Okay, i've got a network set up directly between my laptop and my pc using a crossover ethernet cable. I can access the internet over the cable and everything generally seems fine.

Problem is, for some reason i can't access either of the different computer's drives over the network. I run \\computername\C$ and it says the network path was not found.

I also tried masking the drives and i get the same message - there can't be anything wrong with my laptop in that department as I have drives that are on my colleges network masked...

Help, anyone?

(i know this is simple, but i haven't ever networked anything in my life before)

can you ping the remote computer by ip? if yes, can you pin git by name? this step by step troubleshooting may help. http://howtonetworki...ccessibale0.htm

Thanks for your help, but i ended up sorting it out myself through trial and error which in due course probably messed up my computer but nvm. Thanks again people! I'll most probably be back lol
