Hi guys
I've just started uni and I want to link my PC to my room-mate's PC, we're using a cable between the two PC's ethernet ports, but neither PC seems to recognise each other is there. All we want to do is to do some file-sharing and LAN gaming, if anybody can help I'd be very greatful.
Cheers

A normal network cable wont work. You need a cross wired cable. This message was posted from a WAP device

Are they both running XP? Check that they're both set to the same workgroup (eg. MSHOME) when you run the network setup wizard.

Also make sure that the Network cards on both PC's are installed properly in device manager.
