One Computer Connected, Other Not

Hello, I've been searching endlessly for a solution to my problem. All
I want to do is connect my two laptops with a crossover cable and share
my files between the two of them. I connect to the internet through
dialup, so no internet connection is needed in this network situation.

I had a laptop that I sold and bought a better one that connected with
m old laptop just fine (so the crossover cable works, we know), but the
new one just refuses to connect. The old laptop connects fine to the
new one, no problem, 100mbps or whatever, and then the second has a
limited or no connectivity error, of course. And yes, it is running SP2
(professional), while this one is not (home). But I know that it's not
just a fake error that I can turn off; it actually is not connected.
The SP2 laptop says it is connected at 100mbps, but where the little
monitor icons should be blue, they are gray, and with the Activity
packets thing, packets are being sent very slowly, and not receiving at
all (whereas the old laptop sends and receives large amounts). And
yeah, I've made sure the firewalls are turned off.

Anyway, I've already worked up an ipconfig text for both computers.
This is the first one (that works fine), and my connection is with the
3com Integrated controller, so I think the PPP is irrelevant.

YOu will need to assign Static Addresses in order to use that crossover
cable.  You will notice that one is set for DHCP and there is no where for
that machine to obtain an address, such as a router.

There's no need for static IP addresses.  When a network connection is
configured to obtain an IP address automatically and there's no DHCP
server on the network, Windows XP assigns it an "Automatic Private IP
Address" in the 169.254.x.x range, as described here:

How to use automatic TCP/IP addressing without a DHCP server
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/220874/en-us

The ipconfig output shows that both computers have done that, and they
should be able to network with each other.

The problem that I see is that NetBIOS over TCP/IP is disabled on both
computers, which will prevent network browsing.  To enable NetBIOS
over TCP/IP:

1. Open the Network Connections folder.
2. Right click the local area network connection.
3. Click Properties.
4. Click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
5. Click Properties.
6. Click Advanced.
7. Click WINS.
8. Click the Enable NetBIOS Over TCP/IP button.

Ok, I've tried several times before assigning static IP addresses, and
it didn't change anything.

Chuck, well, I tried to set up a network that starts with 'This
computer connects directly to the internet etc', and the wizard
immediately said I couldn't, because I have to have a connection to the
network it says, which doesn't make much sense. Though, I'm not sure
internet connection has much of anything to do with this since I'm on
dialup on both computers, but also, Zackhix2 doesn't even have a
firewall to disable. For some reason, I don't have Windows Firewall on
this. *shrug*

Ok, and I've tried the netBios thing before. I just retried it about an
hour ago, and it didn't change anything.

I really appreciate the suggestions. Do you guys have any more ideas?

Zack,

Make sure that the right network components and services are running on both
computers.

Ok Chuck, I ensured all those were on and here's the logs.

Start CPSServ V1.10 - ZACKHIX2

Found browser on:

End CPSServ V1.10 - ZACKHIX2


Mhm.


Start CPSServ V1.10 - ZACKEXCLAMATION

    No active service named browser found.

So obviously, Zackexclamation isn't getting anything at all. That's

Well, start by reading about essential network components and services, because
ZACKEXCLAMATION is running none that I can see.

Right. I rechecked and they're all on and redid cpsserv twice, and it's
not seeing it. Do you know what a cause of this would be?

I just ran CPSServ from my XP Home system, and it found the services (all except
Remote Registry) running on itself.  Yours should do likewise.

Check services dependencies.  If none of those services are starting, or if they
are running and not visible, then there is a common service not starting.  Or
you have a firewall problem.

Can you run "sc query" please and post output here.

Zack,

Your setup is sort of unique, and that is a problem.  You want Zackhix2 to have
Internet service, but ZACKEXCLAMATION not.  In that case, you would set the two
up as they are right now, saying neither has an Internet connection.
Unfortunately, that's incorrect.  If you don't have Internet service, I'd not be
sure that the wizard will activate Windows Firewall.  With Zackhix2 connected to
the Internet, not having Windows Firewall operational could expose it
unnecessarily.

If you have Internet service, most folks would run the Network Setup Wizard,
make Zackhix2 and Internet gateway / ICS server, and ZACKEXCLAMATION an ICS
client.  I think that's what you should do.  Then verify that you have
connectivity between the two, and diagnose the problem if not.
