2 win2k pc's with ethernet crossover cable.
They have been successfully connected in the past.
Zone alarm caused bother and ws removed (to be replaced by what? Paid
for the bloody thing too.....)

Now I can't get the two to see each other.

198.162.0.1 255.255.255.0 nic 1

198.162.0.2 255.255.255.0 nic 2



client for ms on both

file and printer sharing on both

tcp/ip on both

Do I need dns or winns? I don't recall setting that up before.

I would like them to share an isdn connection on one of them in future.

To start things off, do this on each PC:
- Start a Command Prompt
- Type this command:
ipconfig /all > c:\ip.txt
- Paste the contents of the two files into your reply.

By the way, your addresses look a little out of the ordinary:
198.162.0.1 255.255.255.0 nic 1
Do you perhaps mean this:
192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 nic 1
