Check your subnet masks for each computer.
Either specify Computer B as the default gateway for Computer A and
vice-versa, or don't specify a default gateway at all.

After that, you have to configure the lmhosts/hosts files if you want to
resolve machine names between each other (quickly).

Verify that your cross-over cable is good, or plug each computer into a
hub/switch.

It's that simple.

Subject: I seems Confused.....Peer-to-to TCP/IP Network [7:58255]

Hi all,

Where are mine going wrong? Has anyone implemented a Peer-to-Peer
network
involving just two computers with ONLY TCP/IP Protocol?

I have been trying to do it but keeping failing. NetBEUI is working
fine, I
can transfer files in between both computers. But TCP/IP protocolis not
working across. Am trying to connect a Window NT to Windows 98 Machine.
I
used
the normal cross over cable (1-3, 2-6, 3-1, 6-2) connection. localhost
pings
alright, IP-address to each machine can be pinged from that very machine
only.
Hosts file have been edited and it is resolving fine...but I can ping
one
machine from the other.

I have double checked everything but cannot figure out whats happening.
I
know
I have been implementing peer-to-peer networks but I had not gotten into
this
kind of scenario......

Any forethought would help, thanks

Godswill
