Hello All,
I have been trying for the last 4 hours to Network to computers using WinXP Pro edition. I have a Netgear HUB model EN104
it is a 4 Port with one of the three ports setup for "Link Rx". I have a push button beside the 4th port that reads Normal/Uplink.
--I am using Cat5 cables.
--I went through the networking wizards made sure computer 1 and computer 2 was apart of the same workgroup and had seperate computer names.
--I did a search for computers the only computer that showed up with searches on both computers was the computer name and workgroup that I was using to do the search.
--I went to the start menu selected run and typed in \\thecomputername and hit run did not work.
--I disabled the xp built in firewall. Went through all the steps again nothing.
--File sharing is enabled on both computers.
--I also have a cable modem in which i have going into the 4th Port that has the switch from Normal/Uplink. I tried to swap ports to see if that would work ... Nothing!!!!
When I did try to swap cat5 with various ports the PC Light on the modem did not flash solid "meaning connection not established and the modem is not talking to the ethernet cards.
---The only way that I can network my computers is by not using the cable modem. And using a Cat5 Crossover cable.
But my crucial objective is to have my cable modem in the loop so that I can exchange files on a Network from computer to computer.
someone please help..
Thanks a Million Times in advance
