If you are hooking these up directly, then you are using a crossover cable
correct?

Bob...

We prefer to respond in the NG so that all may benefit.
Please provide some detail about your setup so we don't have to pull all of
our hair trying to guess at what you have.

Looks like you have ICS enabled. If you disable ICS, is your peer to peer
restored? ICS is configured through the NIC's Properties Advanced tab.

Dusty, Thanks for responses! I have no idea what ICS is. I went into device manager, clicked on the adapter card and then properties and then advanced tab as i believe you said. I get a dialog box with a choice section called "property" and has three titles: Burst Length corolated selection box is titled "value" and says respectively 16 DWORD
Connection type auto detec
Transmit Threshold 256 byte

You're in the wrong area Bob...

Right-click on My Network Places and select Properties. Right-click on
Local Area Connection or whatever yours is called and select Sharing. You
need to disable ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) if you're using a hub
unless you access the Internet through dialup. If you just want a peer-peer
network, you need IP addressing with both computers on the same subnet, ex:

Dell
IP: 192.168.0.2
Mask: 255.255.255.0

Sony
IP: 192.168.0.3
Mask: 255.255.255.0

You need Microsoft Networking, File and Printer Sharing, both logons on both
computers and shares on each computer with rights for the remote user to
access it. You also need to make sure NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled on
each if you want to browse in Windows Explorer to see the other system.

If you have a broadband router, then the router would provide IP information
and you would set the client to obtain an IP address automatically, same for
DNS. The router will provide it. You would still need to rest so the
computers could access each other.

HTH...

Thanks for the help. I did what you said and found the ICS and disabled it.

I have tried the IP addressing before and the "Cable not plugged in" ICON remained and it also stopped the DEL (host) from being able to connect to my ISP. Sholud I try it again? Thanks again for help

I don't know if it is me or OE or this NG but I've just gotten messages that
are 10 days old and were not showing before. I apologize for the delay. I
check daily for messages.

If you're still having issues, we need to make sure we have everything
identified:

1. How do you connect to the Internet? router, dialup or xDSL/cable modem
connected directly to one computer?
2. Are there only 2 computers involved? If the answer to #1 is connected
directly, which computer is that?
3. Can you show the results of running: ipconfig /all from the command line?
4. Is there anything else connected to the network and can you describe how
everything connects? Ex. router, two ST (straight-thru) patch cable or
cable modem to one computer with a NIC, 2nd NIC in that computer via a
x-connect cable to the other computer, etc.
