I can see PCs in Network Neighbourhood. What do I do?
Make sure File & Printer and printer sharing is enabled on all PCs and appropriate rules are configured in any firewalls. (It is best to disable firewalls until after your Network is established. Until then, it’s just one more problem in the way.) Possibly the most useful Networking tool is the ping command. Open a command prompt and type ping 192.168.0.2 (or whatever the other PC is). If you get no reply, you’re not off to a good start. The problems could be many, but start off with checking cables, leads and network cards. Most Network Cards have a link light on them. If the light’s not on, it’s not working. Check in the device manager in control panel that the card’s drivers are working and there’s no conflicts associated with it.
