Wait, your english is like... scrambled into unknown words. Are you trying to connect to your other computer via a router, or directly connected via an ethernet cord?
i thnk i get what he is saying, are you trying to hook to pc's together then to the router? like pc 1 is hooked to router wirelessly or something and pc 2 is hooked to pc 1?
If you are trying to connect a computer to a computer via patch Cat5 cable then ofcourse it will not work. You need a standard crossover Cat5 cable. Go look for them in a networking section, you will see what I mean. When you have a cable to a Computer to Router/Modem you have a set of colors... and that allows the RJ45 to connect straight through the wire and be turned around on each end by the connector. When you have a Computer to Computer connection you need the cable to obviously crossover.. because you need them to go into the RJ45 socket on each end differently to transfer the data to the same pins The final view is the difference between the two...:
i just have a an ethernet cord and i want to connect 2 computers my new pc has the lan connection at the back and lights up when pluged in the other pc does not have the lights but has the port to connect it too whenever i connect it the pcs on my pc its shows limited or no conectivity the other pc i not really connecting it has the same error what can i do ?
yeah if your cables are like akw's it should work... if it doesnt, you have a firewall blocking it or need a router
i got the pcs connected and we are sharing a internet connectin but i can't see the othetr pc in my network places and vice versa but we are aharing a net connection good as new
i had your cables all the time it was error on the old pc all the time tieing up the network Merged Post: what do i have to enable so i can share files between computers
I think you can share files when you right click on them and one of them will say " sharing and security " Under Network Sharing and Security, check the box that says "Share this folder on the network". Tho it only works when you have the other comp on.. or thats what I had to do to share the files.
