I have a client with two XP Home machines. He has DSL connected to one, and
shares that through an ethernet connection to the other computer. He has File
Sharing disabled on that connection, for security reasons. He wants to add
yet another physical network between the two computers for an internal LAN.
This one would allow File Sharing between the computers, yet be separate from
the Internet connection. I have put in another NIC and run a crossover cable
between the computers. I have not been able to get them to talk on this
connection. Is this going about it the hard way, or how do I set this up for
this internal LAN?
