Thanks for you reply,
I connects them using crossed Ethernet cable. I get the internet via the
USB port (connected to a cable modem) which is a different LAN I want to
note that when I enable the LAN between the 2 computers the internet
connection doesn't work I also tried to bridge them but it didn't help
I must admit that I didn't understand everything you have written but if
there is a specific problem please restate it and will look into it.

Thank you in advance,
Shmuel Shulman

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?
