Hi,
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.
