Hi,
My Bro got back from Uni at the weekend and I though I would network his Laptop (running XP) and My PC (running ME). So, armed with a network cable (not a crossover but my bros laptop shouldauto dectect and change the way it send signals), I started the network wizard on his Laptop and finished that fine. Then, as instructed I inserted the XP disk and upgraded ME's networking support to XP's. After this the LAN on XP was active and sending and reciving packets of data, and both PC were shown on the network, fine and dandy. But, on the ME PC only the PC itself was shown on the network, and when the XP Laptop tried to access the ME PC it said it was not avalible.
Anyone know what the problem is? I've tried redoing the whole process but that hasn't worked. If its any help the network adapter on the PC is a built in Realtek RTL8139(A) Fast Ethernet Adapter on a GA-8SIMLH-P Motherboard and the Laptops Adapter is a Broadcom 440x 10/100 Intergrated controler.
Cheers
