Home Network setup problems
I'm trying to set up a small home network, with two computers at the moment but adding a third when I've got the first two to work!
I have dial-up internet access and would like to be able to access the internet from the guest computers and also share files and printers. The two computers were both built by myself and run Win XP Pro. One has a separate PCI network card, the other has Fast Ethernet onboard the motherboard. Both show as working correctly in Device Manager. The computers are linked through a Belkin switch/hub/router (not sure of the correct terminology here; I think Belkin call it a LAN switch). The connections are all good and the hub shows all the correct lights.
The problem I have is that despite following the Network Setup wizard on both computers, I cannot see the other computer in 'My Network Places'. I have got myself rather confused with TCP/IP, IP addresses, Default Gateway, Subnet Mask and wonder if the problem could be here.
Grateful for any help/suggestions.
