Hello all.
This is my first post so I hope I'm in the right place (you'll notice the 'novice' tag). I have a small itsy, bitsy problem I am hoping you could help me with.
I have a W2K machine and a W98SE connected directly nic to nic through a crossover cable. The led on each nic is lit. The W2K is also connected to the internet through a dial-up modem. I have configured both machines with an IP address and the same subnet mask. Each computer can ping the loopback address. But neither can ping each other. Ipconfig/all resolves both my ethernet adapter and PPP adapter. Each computer is part of the same workgroup "workgroup". Neither is a member of a domain. W98 can see itself. W2000 can not see itself, only "workgroup". What have I missed?
Thanx in advance.
