Vista wired LAN problem
I am trying to connect my new Vista Home PC with my work XP PC in order to
share some files and a USB modem connected internet link (on the Vista PC). I am using an ethernet to ethernet cable which has previously worked with my old XP PC and the same work PC. For some reason, I cannot get my Vista PC to allocate any IP addresses (you can tell I'm not very good with network settings...). I don't have a router to use as a DNS, the PCs have been in the same workgroup but it made no difference. I can ping localhost on the Vista PC. There is no nice wizard to set up a wired connection on Vista, just wireless, dialup, VPN or connect to the internet. Grrrrrr. Any ideas ?

Vista wired LAN problem

need to give a hard-coded IP address for IPv4 (192.168.0.1 ?) and disable IPv6, or is there another set of steps I need to take ? "Robert L.

There is also a wireless card in this device which is disabled and there disconnected. I don't have a wireless card in the Vista PC or my internet ADSL connection. "Robert L.

I am trying to connect my new Vista Home PC with my work XP PC in order to share some files and a USB modem connected internet link (on the Vista PC). I am using an ethernet to ethernet cable which has previously worked with my old XP PC and the same work PC. For some reason, I cannot get my Vista PC to allocate any IP addresses (you can tell I'm not very good with network settings...). I don't have a router to use as a DNS, the PCs have been in the same workgroup but it made no difference. I can ping localhost on the Vista PC. There is no nice wizard to set up a wired connection on Vista, just wireless, dialup, VPN or connect to the internet. Grrrrrr. Any ideas ?
