icexswipe Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 hi guys got 2 computers that connect with an crossover cable, both have xp pro. i formatted my pc today and reinstalled windows and ran the network wizards but my computers wont recognize each other. and when i ran the wizards the option for ICS isnt there below the firewall option. and last time when i ran the wizard i got options like this computer connects to the internet directly or this computer connects to a gateway to access the internet. but this time i got a wizard like this - i tried both the first 2 options on tht and it didnt work. plz help i need to transfer some important files across and ive been trying for 3 hours to get something so simple fixed. this is my internet connection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snippet1 Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Try the third option, but... I suffered no end of trouble with a crossover cable - everything works perfectly now I've got a router. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icexswipe Posted January 20, 2004 Author Share Posted January 20, 2004 ok tried all options #1 - this computer connects to the internet directly or through a network hub. other computers on my network also connect to the internet directly or through a hub #2 - this computer connects directly thro the internet. i do not have a network yet #3 - this computer belongs to a network that does not have an internet connection (i dunno abt the pictures but im so stressed getting this network to work so i can share files, i dont want to spend an hour fixing the pictures..sorry, but the above says what it said on the wizard tho) ok how do i change my computers local ip to 192.168.0.1 coz the network wizard does that, but now how do to that. coz if i change it from the internet connection properties internet wont work. and how to enable ICS manually, the bloody option under the firewall option isnt there and every site on google says to put the check mark there for doin it manually. the wizards are messed up. oh gawd help!
