Networking

[jutty]

Trying to create a very simple workgroup between 2 XP pro machines however the Vaio doesnt want to play. No matter what we do we cant get it to work and it wont even ping itself!

James,

My step father paid £35 for the desktop card.
The router was £80.

Hay, yea i know the freeling, i just recently got my laptop working wirelessley... yea, what i found was the speed of the network card and the pc were diffrent, thus not working, however i dont think that this would affect you. but do you have something like norton, because it also stop ALL network interactions.... best wishes:smileyhappy:

Yeah I hate Norton

[pinolo77]

Is it then possible to install a peer to peer networking even if my Vaio has Norton installed on it or not?
Thank you for any help. I have had the same problem as the one mentioned and would therefore be interested in the solution...

Thanx

Peer 2 Peer should be no problem, I don't know many people who have stand alone servers.

My step father paid £35 for the desktop card.

LOL Sorry Kee-lo I was referring to both the router AND the PCMCIA notebook card OR the router AND desktop card/adapter. You see I was refering to both of these as a package for £99.99 from Staples...
