networking help windows 7 please?
O.K this is driving me NUUUTS i had the same problem with winXP but now both computers are running windows7 ultimate.
i am trying to connect the 2 computers with a crossover cable, i have pinged the onboard network cards with 217.0.0.1 to ensure they both work and they do,
i have ensured i do need a crossover cable and not a patch cable by plugging in a patch cable and getting no lights, the crossover cable plugged in to both comps gives me green lights on the network cards.
i have set the ip addresses to auto and i have tried using 10.1.1.1 (comp1)and 10.1.1.2 (comp 2) with subnet mask 255.255.255.0. (tcp/ipv4)
all i am getting is "unidentified network no network access"
both firewalls are turned off
i have looksed to see if the service "Bonjour ect ect" is in the servuice list but it isnt.
please someone help me!

Set PC1 to 192.168.0.10 - 255.255.255.0 and PC2 to 192.168.0.20 - 255.255.255.0
If they don't work then try adding this:
DNS should be 127.0.0.1 on PC1 and enable Routing and remote access service on PC1. Then set DNS to 192.168.0.10 on PC2. No Remote Access service.
Setting the IP to Auto will NOT help as you have no DHCP service running to allocate IP's
Hope that helps.
