How to Create Peer-2-Peer Network between XP and Vista PCs?

Nado asked:


Hi,

I have one desktop PC with Windows XP Media Center 2005 installed on it and one HP laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium installed on it.

I need to network both machines together with crossover cable. Network card is ready on the desktop, crossover cable is ready.
What software configuration shall i make or what are the steps I should take since I always heard about issues and problems in networking XP with Vista.

Thank you for your help.

Philip

    Take 1 cross cable and connect between both machine’s
    and put IP address(like 192.168.100.1&2) in My Network Places and restart it once its start just used ping command if the machines are pinging means machine are ready in network then go to START-RUN-and type-\\192.168.100.1means type your machine ip address what ever you had give it.
