xp home computer subnetmask =255.255.254.0
xp pro computer subnetmas = 255.255.258.0

both online with road runner...

modem, through hub - then to each computer. so they
connect ind. of eachother.

i've tried release all/renew all...but those wont change.
ICF is disabled on BOTH computers..any ideas? I just want
these computers to see eachother!

both on workgroup MSHOME

thanks
 
First of all, are you sure the subnet mask is 255.255.258.0? The 258 looks
really suspicious since the max range should be 255.

Second, are you using a hub or a router? There is a HUGE difference!

How are the machines getting their IP address? Did you assign a staic IP
address?

What are the configuration settings when you open a command prompt and type:
ipconfig /all

Let us know and we'll help if we can...
