HI, I connected two laptops following the above procedure. My Ip is 192.168.1.1 and the other system’s IP is 192.168.1.16. We both are able to ping each other and the reply is perfect. The problem is I shared a file, and the other computer is not able to open my ip address using the run command. Even I cannot open my Shared folder by giving in the run (\\192.168.1.1). A dialogue box with the message ” \\192.168.1.1, The Network Path was not found” opens each time we try this. But I am able to open his shared folder by giving in run command (\\192.168.1.16). I closed all the firewall services in my system. But still my system is not able to respond. Also we are not able to use remote desktop connection. Can anyone please help me???

In one PC, select from Start Menu -> All programs -> Accessories -> Remote Desktop connection, or you can search the program named “mstsc.exe”. Input the IP address of the other PC and press connect.

khan – if after following the above procedures and still it does not work, then I recommend that you RESTART both laptops.

I tried to connect two computers together using ethernet crossover cable. But computers are running window vista operating system and I assign IP Addresses of same subnet mask to but computers. Both computers are not connected and I tried to ping one computer from another and I received the following error message – PING: transmit failed, error code 1232. What do you think is the problem? thanks in anticipation of your response.
