:help:I have about 3 networking cables now and tried for hours on end. I'm trying to network 2 hard drives together. both windows XP. So far i've had no luck at all.
The 2 hard dives just aren't detecting each other.


Is there anybody out there that can help me.?.

Please note, the networking cables are connected and the networking wizard has been set up on BOTH pc's.

However the local network connection has a hazard sign over it and states there is a problem.
When you click on repair, the problem is not corrected.

I am confused, are you purplemonkey or yoshihiro? Anyways, if you are connecting 2 pc's together you need to use a "crossover" cable, it is the same as a network cable, but the wires are in a different order at one end. Also both pc's need to be a part of the same workgroup and you need the same account created on both pc's.
