Right ok here goes, I have two computers wired up using a crossover LAN cable we can share the internet no trouble but the computers are not visible at either end. So i cant send files or anything like that! the furthest i get on this computer (host) is this -

I go into "My Network Place" and under the UNSPECIFIED catergory i get

SharedDocs on Robs PC (Rob)

Which is the computer but there is no way of opening it up!

What do i do????

PLEASE HELP ITS SO FRUSTRATING

can you ping each other by ip? if yes, can you ping it by name? if not, compare both ip configuration, this step by setp troubleshooting may help, http://howtonetworki...ccessibale0.htm

if it is under unspecified category then have you set up a workgroup? you will probably need to do that if you haven't. if you are not part of a network of some kind then you do not have permissions no matter if the files are shared or not.
