I am running xp home on two computers, and have them connected with a
crossover cable. MAinly set up for playing games over a lan. My setup used
to work, but I had to format my drive, and now I can't get one of my
computers to setup the network right again. One computer still has all it's
info, and will see the other... but the one I formatted, will not find the
other. I was able to bring it up by going to >Start >Run and entering the ip
address of the working one. And I can get to the computer, but in all other
ways it won't acknowledge there is a network. Not through games or through
windows. When I try to look at the workgroup, it tells me the directory of
computers is not available... or something to that effect...

I have also tried to remake the network with the wizard, and it doesn't seem
to do anything... the same connection that I already had is still on the
"network connections" screen... And I cannot find the place where I can
change the ip address and stuff to try and make bothe computers the same...

CAn anyone possibly help me???

Thanks alot...
