Hi greencreeper
I'm at work at the moment so don't have access to the PCs, and I did all the fiddling with the network on Friday evening so my memory is a bit hazy (have slept since then
). Nevertheless I'll try and give you a quick summary of where we've got up to so far:
* cable modem to router to PCs connection set up
* both PCs can access the net
* both PCs can pin one another successfully
* network connection wizard has been run on both PCs
* firewalls have been closed down on both PCs (both the windows firewalls and also the additional software ones we have on each one, mine being zone alarm, my g/f's being mcafee)
* both PCs have different names
* both PCs are in the MSHOME workgroup
* shared access has been applied to the C:\ drive of both PC's
If I remember anything else I'll post again - in the meantime if anyone has any suggestions please call 'em out !
Cheers guys
Dom
PS - Looks like our net connection speed is shortly to be boosted to 2MB - sweet
