How the heck do you network xp to 2000???
« on: February 04, 2006, 04:44:34 PM »
Hi
ok i have ethernet cards in both machines and im trying to get just a standard connection for the 2000 machine to have access to the internet from the xp pc....How do i do this?the xp box says the network cable is plugged in but the ip address is invalid.How do you add the ip address in 2000?I cant find it anywhere and it also says the cable is unplugged on 2000.
Any help would be really great,thanks..

Oh no no you got me wrong here,sorry i should of made it more clear lol.I`m wannting to network windows xp to windows 2000,not to share files just so the other can use the same internet connection...
See my younger brother has a pc aswell so i was just trying to get the modem shared between the two pcs like i have done with my amiga.So my xp machine says it is aquiring the network address and the win 2000 says the cable is unplugged..so anyone know why or what to do?Genesis was a lot easier than this....

Yes  thats right i had my amiga connected to my xp box but now i`m trying to connect a 2000 windows machine to my xp.
Well yeah it`s a cross over cable but not the same one but i know it works because i use it between two xbox consoles.
Well really i havent done much to the settings because i couldnt figure out where to input an ip adress or whatever.
