I have 2 xp machines both with sp3 and my problem is that I can’t connect them to each other. I can’t share files no matter what I do. Before I would map my drive no problem with winxp sp2 but now I can’t do it. I really don’t know what the problem is, but I suspect that sp3 had something to do with it. Need help.

I tried WiPeer on several XP machines, but the wireless options are all disabled (grayed out) in Network Configuration. I have installed .Net Framework 2.0 and above, I have turned on the wireless radio. I have tried to reboot.. but all attempts have failed.

BTW, I tried in Win7 machine, it works fine.

Could someone can help me out ? Thanks!

I am having problems with my LAN. I connected four computers together without internet, my class of IP is 169.254.xxx.xxx. I can only see all the systems from one system that I used as the gateway 169.254.120.1. The other systems can not see themselves and can not even see the gateway system that is seeing the other systems. It is now difficult for me to share resources.

Kindly help me out.

Thanks.

Ok, so I'm trying to connect both of my computers so that I don't have to constantly go back and forth between the two just to copy files to my new one. My new computer is running Windows 7, and my old one has XP on it. How can I do this?
