See my post about the firewall. The info you have provided shows that the both the PC and the Amiga are on the same network and correctly numbered. Really, that should be all that is needed. Are you pinging the machines by number or name? You may need to set up the lmhosts file on the PC to tell it the Amiga's ip address if you're pinging by name. > Yep it is a cross overe cable > > Could do with some more info on the PC config too. > What like ( I am very weak on PC side of things ) Whatever you've got that might be useful.

But the network settings haven't changed that dramatically throught the windies versions. The fact you can ping each machines own IP address, I suspect either your firewall is preventing access (I seem to recall XP also has a basic firewall built in, perhaps it's blocking access to certain ports?) or your cablings cacked. Can you try another cross over cable?
