Spent yesterday trying to network a Win ME machine with a Win XP (SP1) Machine. No luck at all.
Hardware setup is a realtek RTL8139 NIC in each of the machines connected, with straight through cables, to a netgear DS104 (4 port hub).
Looked at a few guides, ran through them - set up TCP/IP with IPs of 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, enabled NetBIOS shared C on both of the machines, both are on the same workgroup (MSHOME), nothing happened.
The machines can't see each other, the hub shows that thay are both sending packets, but neither machine receives anything (I looked in the XP status - 0 packets received). Can't ping either way.
Tried it again this morning to see if I could figure out what I'd missed, but now the ME machine does't even connect to the hub, it just says media disconnected in winipcfg, even the though hub indicates traffic from the machine during boot up.
Any ideas?
I'm hoping its something fairly simple and obvious that I've missed, but I've checked it pretty thoroughly
Thanks in advance
