Been trying to make possible the filesharing between my MS-Windows XP Home (SP2) and MS-Windows 2000 Professional!

Here's what's funny,
-->
I can ping the Win2K machine from my WinXP but can't the other way round!
--->
Netmeeting, i can call from the WinXP but not from Win2K

Now filesharing has been enabled on WinXP (firewall).

here's my ipconfig for winxp:

Any help would be much appreciated! thanx

no mate, don't work!
enabling DHCP produces the following ip: 169.124.24.193

thanks

Enable DHCP and then make the following change to the DNS subnet mask

that subnet mask is for my internet connection! shouldn't i be concern only about the Local Networking?

My WinXP runs a dial-up internet, my Win2K connects to WinXP through crossover connection!

thanks

As I understand it for the network to function properly all computers need to be in the same work group or domain & on the same subnet. That being said they need to have unique computer names & IP addresses. If computer A has a subnet of 255.255.255.255 & computer B has a subnet of 255.255.255.0 they will not be able to see one another via the network. I could be wrong, it wouldn't be the first time.

I have work in a few hours maybe one of the other members will have further suggestions and or advise for you. Night
