I have 3PC at home and im running win2000.
I want to setup a small LAN, i already have my 3PC
connected using LAN CARD AND A HUB but my problem is
I cant find the other PC on the network.
I already checked the CONFIGURATIONS but im not sure with
it. What should i do? I need help!
 
Hi Mike,

I too am trying to do a similar thing, but with just two
computers. If you find anything out please let me know.
I'll also post a question. Hopefully one of us will get
a reply.

Cheers,

Gordon
 
Have your IPs set up in the 192.168.x.x. range. Be sure all computers have
same workgroup name. Run File/Print Sharing. (be careful of that if you're
on internet)

Not necessary just to see computers, but will need to Share a folder on each
machine to transfer files.

Simpliest way is for same User (same username/password) on all machines (set
up same user account)
(disable Guest account)

btw, if you're settings are ok, Ping one of the other computers to see if
cables/hub/settings are ok.
