    For some reason I can't get my network working properly. I had it up and running before and I can't think of what is wrong this time. Also, I checked the connection between the two computers, it is connected properly and the three little lights (10/100, Half/Full, LN/Act) are all on.

    Here are my TCP/IP settings...

    BINDINGS
    Client for Microsoft Net. is checked.

    ADVANCED
    Property = allow binding; Value = No

    NETBIOS
    Blank

    DNS CONFIG
    disabled

    GATEWAY
    blank

    WINS CONFIG
    disabled

    IP ADDRESS
    Desktop 192.168.1.1 (Both IP and Subnet)
    Laptop 192.168.1.2 (Both IP and Subnet)

    I also tried 192.168.100.*

    The problem is when I double click on "Entire Network" in Network Neighborhood I get the message:

    'Unable to browse the network.
    The network is not accessible.....'

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanx

    Hmmmm. I thought that would have worked but it hasn't appeared to have done anything. :(

    That's the ticket Brian. My file sharing was not checked off. I made sure it worked this time and allready backed up my files. So you can whip that 'resolved' tag back up there. :)

    Thanx a lot....

    MolsonMan.

    Glad it's working, hopefully I can leave the resolved on it this time, I think you are the only one I have to remove the resolved from on a consistant basis :)
