Perhaps someone here can help me. I'm desperate with this.
I have two computers:
- a normal PC with internet connection and lan-adapter (192.168.0.1) running WinXP Pro SP2
- a mediacenter-pc with lan-adapter (automatic ip) running WinVista Ultimate
The pcs are connected with a CrossLink-LAN cable.
The internet connection sharing is working fine (i can surf the www with the mediacenter-pc). When i give the mc-pc a fixed ip, the internet isn't working.
I have three shared folders on the mc-pc, all with full-access-rights. (i use the same account-name on both pcs)
I can ping both pc from the other. I can surf the web, but I CAN'T SEE THE MC-PC AND THE THREE SHARED FOLDERS IN NETWORK ON MY NORMAL PC.
Any solution?
