Networkin Woes :P

[timekeeper]

Ok, I'm not exactly a complete noob to networking, but this has made me feel like I am.

I have two computers, both XP Pro, on a Aztech router/dsl modem. Both computers can connect to the net fine, but I cannot setup networking between them, even though they're the same workgroup. Games do not work on LAN either, and I cannot see the other computer.


Any help, advice, or links to networking guides would be much appreiated

Make sure you have the "Client for Microsoft Networks" and "File and Printer Sharing For...." enabled on the NIC for both computers. Also, check the firewall settings on your router to be sure you're not blocking out ports that would be needed to share files etc.
Also, depending on the game, you may need to enable IPX/SPX.
