I have a notbook and a desktop computer, we both have roadrunner and different ips on a hub. how do i see the desktops harddrive without going though the internet?
 
Just bind a second IP address to the network card on each computer. You could also add NWLink as a protocol and get the same results.

I didn't think you could do that in XP. How/where is it done? I know you can do it in linux, but thats not really the same thing.
 
get into the tcp/ip properties, click advanced, and under ip address click add

Thanks guys I'll try these and let you know.
 
Another IP address will be quite slow. Suggestion about NWLINK (or IPX/SPX) is good. You can also try NETBEUI, but it is no longer officially supported by Microsoft, so you will have to install it separately.
Netbeui will be the fastest concerning data transfers, but you will not notice significant drop if you use IPX (unless you transfer gigabytes of data over the LAN) :)
 
...

If someone can, please explain how a second IP address would be set up.

Thanks
 
Dejav: Right-click on Network Places, choose Properties

Right-click on the network connection, choose Properties

Double-click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) (which will bring you to Properties)

Click Advanced button

In the IP Address sections, choose Add...

That's about it! I've never done this but I just looked through it and wanted to tell ya how if you didn't know yet.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
