I have read all knowledge base articles, and cannot find a
way to peer to peer my computers(one xp home, one xp
pro).
- connection is 2 100 ethernet network cards, rj5e cable
connecting directly between cards on seperate computers,
- if i use connection wizard, one computer can see (not
access) the other, the second computer can not see
anything but itself,
- makes no difference which wizard option I use, or who
plays host or guest, results always the same on one or the
other.
-Checked physical cable, all ok; checked cards, both ok.

Any Advice
 
Is your cable twisted ? A normal networking cable is not
suitable to connect two PC's without a router...
Turn off all firewalls, on both machines...then try again.
Enable file sharing on both machines...
Should work fine !
