Help With Home Network!!!
Ok i know this is a LAME question but i have searched netgears web page + yahoo and need help.
1) Can a netgear router be used to connect 2 computers togather in a network. (not just share a net connect but to use tcp/ip to play games such as counter strike and diablo 2
The two computers refuse to see each other in network hood.
Computer two can ping computer 1 but 1 cannot ping computer 2 and is stopped at the router.. We both share the same workgroup and have all of our TCP/IP settings set to let the computer decide what to be assigned to where.
I need any help that can be given on this very newbish topic PLZ
I completely agree this is fuggin WEIRD!
I was able to ping the address you gave from both puters...
It really makes me wonder why if 1 can ping the other cant, but is still able to respond to the PING.... WTF ARRRRRRGH
Two computers networked via router...
hmmm.... just had an Idea, not sure if youve got it working yet, so I thought I would post this:
(It might work and it might not, just trying an Idea)
Plug in one computer on one side of the router and the other on the end that would plug into the wall. (The second would need a crossver cable...I think)
It would be like hooking two routers together to connect two networks or a network to the Internet. Is this
Idea posible, fellow AOers?
