I tried networking my friends computer and mine together for some LAN action with some computer games. Some how with tinkering he did, he got them to see each other. Well, it doesnt work anymore. I think he tried changing his network password , but then changed it back to the original one in hopes we could get our network back. I have tried the following:
1. Reinstalling the protocols and clients for both computers
2. Pinging the other's computer, it only pings for out own Ex: I can ping my comp. successfully, but when I try to ping his, i get request timed out
3. Tried using only one protocol at a time EX: tried using TCP/IP on both comp, tried using net bui on both, tried using ipx/spx on both...
4. File and printing sharing has a check mark by i want to give others access to my files, so the file and printing sharing for microsoft networks is installed.
5. my Ip address for the lan session is 192.168.1.1 and his is 192.168.1.2
6. In identifications our workgroups have the same name: WORKGROUP
7. Microsoft family logon is installed on both comp
8. The primary network LOGON is client for microsoft networks
Noticed the following in the following networks are installed which dont see familar to me:
Microsoft virtual private network adapter(this installed after i tried signing onto AOL)
NDISWAN protocol is installed(got this after i tried signing onto AOL)
9. I checked the lights on the hub and the connections for the wires..the lights are on and the connections secure.
I am really frustrated and feel real dumb especially when the world of windows networking site says networking two computers is a snap! Any help would greatly be appreciated.
