I have 2 computers at home and wanted to make a peer to peer network but i havent suceeded in doing so.
-have run the network wizard
-have created workgroup for the 2 computers
-have shared some folders
-have configured IP address (tried automatic stil nothing)
-tried to search for computers in the "my network places"
i think the hardwares are doing fine coz when i specify the same IP Adress for both computers it says that there is a conflict meaning the other comp knows that another comp is using the same IP Address.
what i dont understand is that why the two computers dont "see" each other and cant commnunicate.
Im in need of immediate help, any help extended to me will be well appreciated, thank you in advance.
FYI:
-im using Norton internet security 2004 pro (could be the culprit but think not coz i turned it off)
-im using d-link ethernet adapters.
