I have 2 PCs connected to the internet using a 3com officeconnect4 hub. Both
PCs connect to the internet ok but I can't get file sharing to work between
them (either with the machine name or with the explicit IP address). I'm
able to ping each PC from the other using the IP address from ipconfig. The
IP addresses are both real addresses (62.78.x.x). Both PCs are in the same
workgroup and if I connect a crossover cable between them then I can get
file sharing to work ok. I've got all firewalls turned off.
Any ideas? I'm pretty new to networking so it's probably something stupid.
Is this hub actually the right thing to use for a network?
Thanks!
