Hi

I am trying to link 2 PCs (no domain) via Ethernet cable so I assigned
fixed IP address to both of them as follows:

Computer 1
IP Address 10.0.0.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 10.0.0.1

Prffered DNS Server:10.0.0.1

Computer 2
IP Address 10.0.0.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 10.0.0.2

Prffered DNS Server:10.0.0.2

But I still can't view shared folder in any of them

Can that be related to the Workgroup?

Any suggestions?

So did you connect the 2 computers to hub, switch, or router? Or did
you connect them directly together (i.e., from NIC port of one computer
to the NIC port of other), in which case you need a special cable called
a cross-over cable? If you connect them using a cross-over cable and
using all NIC ports, just how are you connecting them to the Internet,
if at all?

You obviously are NOT running a DNS server to resolve IP names to IP
addresses regardless of your DNS settings. That means you cannot use IP
names to find your hosts. You need to find your hosts by their
workgroup names. Do you have the "Client for Microsoft Networks"
installed on your LAN connectoid? Is the "Computer Browser" NT service
running? If you do have them connected to a router, does the router
permit connections between intranetwork hosts?
