Hi all, i have a new comp. (comp1)
amd4200+ dual core 2.2 ghz,
4gb ddr2 ram
vista home pre,64bit ver.
cat5 crossover cabs. to
dell dimention 1100 2.3 ghz celeron (comp 2)
2gb ddr sdram
xp home
I have zone alarm on xp if i make it lowest settings for access will it be at risk?
vista has windows firewall.
ip is same 1 & 2, workgroup is same, submask is same.
or would i need a program to download for this to work?
sorry 1st time i am hooking up 2 comps.
I did ping comp2 to comp1 and it sent packets, but comp1 to comp2 got timeouts, so i am thinking must lower firewall on comp 1 is that right?
any help would be appreciated
ok now both are working just dont know how to get or look at files on comp 2?
and thanks for the info

How do you stop vista blocking messanger due to its data protection thing? It works on one of my comps but not the other…
