Re: New cable is your cheapest option

Chad,

You have stated that you have enabled file and
printer sharing but did you go into "Windows
Explorer" and enable you rhardware devices to be
seen on the network?

If you didn't, you will see the other computers
but you won't be able to communicate with them.
Open Windows explorer from the accessories group
and RIGHT click the drive. You should see
"sharing" in the submenu that pops up. Click it
and enable sharing. Give your device, (your C:
drive), a name that will appear on the nework.
Don't use passwords. Windows networking is
worthless for security and passwords will just add
keystrokes and something for you to remember or
forget.

Do this with all the devices, (even floppy
drives), to both machines and reboot.
See if that helps your problem.

Good Luck,

Booman
