Ok, so I know I'm looking like a complete idiot about now.
Equipment
Dell E521 Desktop running Windows Vista Home Premium
Dell X300 Laptop running Windows XP SP2
I have a CAT5E Crossover Cable connecting the two together. I connect the
Laptop through the LAN connection. The Desktop shows connected to an
Unidentified Network. When I go to the Network page on the Vista machine, it
only shows the Desktop. It does not see the Laptop.
All I want to do is synchronize one stinking file. I don't download music,
use a PDA or any other device. The only thing I do is work on my laptop (Word
Files) away from my Desktop and want them to Synchronize.
What am I missing here? I have been staring at this thing for days now. I
have firewall turned off. File sharing turned on. I even downloaded the LLD
whatever upgrade on the XP machine. I've tried some of the step-by-step
suggestions here on this message board.
But something still isn't working properly. What am I missing? This is
driving me crazy!
