I need to be able to share files...

[vbp6us]

Hi,

I have 3 computers which are connected to a 4 port MN-100 hardwired router.

They all have internal ip's(ie. 192.168.2.9, 192.168.2.13, 192.168.2.5).

These Ip's are all static and I have a static wan Ip.


All my computers have the same Workgroup[Workgroup] but neither one of them can see each other. They are physicall connected and I was able to exchange files before but for some reason I can't anymore.

I haven't made any serious changes. Ive gone over lots of BlackViper guides so im afraid its something from there. It should be undoable though.

The Os' are as follows:

XPSP1, XPSP1, XPSP1.

Im on a DSL connection.

do I need to make accounts for each computer on each computer?

Let me know if you need anymore info. Thanks.

i'm not sure but my private network uses 192.168.1.x ip's but your's seems weird.. did u assign each computer those ip's or is it assigned by DHCP?

Those IP's are fine as long as they are all on the same subnet. Here's a good guide to XP file sharing.

Yeah the router gives those ips. Previously I owned a Linksys and it was 192.168.1.x but the MN goes with a 192.168.2.x


Thank you for the site, it was helpful.
