Can't see the network

[chompas]

I have 2 machines directly connected, to share internet, the server has static ip and the other a dinamic one. I can share internet without problems but if I went to My net sites (or whatever is called in english) i can only see my PC, and not the other one, both re under the same workgroup, but i can't get that to work to be able to transfer files from one pc to another.

Make sure the subnet is the same.

Yep, the subnet is the same but i can't see the other pc, i have checked that page but nothing, some other suggestion?

[Nitrowing]

Don't shoot me if I'm wrong but this is how mine is set up...

Main computer (MAIN)
2nd computer (2nd)

main has 2 network cards [one connected to internet (A), one connected to 2nd (B)]
(MAIN) Network Bridge should be manually set up as 192.168.0.1, subnet is automatic (255.255.255.0)
(2nd) Network Bridge should be manually configured as 192.168.0.101, same subnet, Default Gateway 192.168.0.1, DNS Servers should be set at the same as MAIN(A) [194.168.4.100 & 194.168.8.100 is mine]

cat5e - I've posted this a few times - I know it works (on my home network, with WinME, W2K and XPhome & pro anyways!! ) would you concur on it being a proper setup?

[chompas]

I have only one network, the dsl modem is USB, I've tried looking for drives but nothing. I really dont know what to do

It is my understanding that that can share the net, correct?
Is sharing enabled?
Try a search for the other pc or go into explorer and type the name in the address bar (ie \\CompName)

By the way what are the IPs?

[chompas]

My ip is 198.168.0.1 the other is dinamic.

[foogoo]

i know you said dynamic - what range? what is running DHCP for you?

[chompas]

what u tried to mean is that the other pc doesnt have an IP, windows changes it every times it restarted, i've tried using a statip ip but i start having problems sharing internet so i come back to that configuration again
