Hi there,
I am trying to connect two laptops via a crossover cable - one running XP, and the other windows 7 enterprise 64 bit.
I have done this exercise before with problems when connecting 2 laptops, both running XP. I have done all the things normall required for connecting with a crossover:
Set fixed IP addresses for both (win7 laptop 192.168.0.1 on ipv4, xp laptop 192.168.0.2)
Disabled firewalls on both
My win7 laptop shows its ip address when I do and ipconfig. XP laptop shows no IP address. Laptops cant ping each other
Any ideas?
Regards
Chris
