Computer #1 has XP Home and 2 on-board ethernet adapters,
each of which has been connected to the internet via
cable modem while the other was connected to #2 via
crossover cable.
Computer #2 also has XP Home, and has been connected to
#1 by two different brand new crossover cables.
Both computers have had this trouble-shooting:
- Manually configured network adapters to 100/full duplex.
- Re-installed network adapters.
- Removed all firewalls.
- TCP/IP is the only protocol.
- NetBIOS over TCP/IP enabled on both.
- There are shared files and drives.
- TCP/IP has been reset.
The network has been set up with/without ICS, and
with/without a bridge, both many times. Neither computer
can ping the other and they are not in the same subnet,
unless I manually configure #2's IP address to be in #1's
subnet. In that case, #1 can ping #2's IP address, but
not its name, and #2 still can not ping #1.
#1 always shows nothing in My Network Places, and is
always unable to View Workgroup Computers. #2 always
shows its own shared files and drives in My Network
Places, and in View Workgroup Computers it always shows
itself and sometimes shows computer #1's name and
description, but can not access its files.
When ICS is enabled on #1, its IPCONFIG shows "DHCP not
enabled," and #2 gets "Destination host unreachable."
They remain in different subnets.
Here are the results of IPCONFIG /ALL for both before
manually changing the address of #2.
