Networking two machines Win7 and Win XP Hail all, Please help me with struggling to put two machines in network through ethernet. 1. I've got an AMD-8Core-4GHz-8GBRAM machine with Windows 7 64bit and an old INTEL DualCore-2GHz-2GBRAM laptop machine with Windows XP Pro 32bit. 2. I've connected them through ethernet cards and through a Ethernet switch with two bi-directional ethernet cables. The switch shows high indications for both. 3. I've made the computer names to be the same. 4. After all, I can only see the files of the Win7 machine in the WinXP laptop and these ONLY as "read only" files, so I can't work on them. But I see nothing of the WinXP laptop in the Win7 machine. 5. When unpluging-repluging the ethernet cables the laptop says: "unable to assign IP address to the compuer". Windows can't fix it. I need to work with the two machines in both directions. Could anyone throw some light in the labyrinth? (If I try to connect both computers through Wi-Fi, it doesn't work as well. I possibly don't have the correct settings there. But I prefer ethernet.) Thanks in advance! |
