Networking two COMPUTERS.I am using NTL broadband always on connection through set top box which also delivers satalite channels.I have an ethernet connection straight to the motherboard and two network cards one in each computer and a cross over cable linking both cards. The green lights are lit on both cards.After running the network set up wizard on both computers I seem to have a connection but when I try to use the client computer to access the web I get the message can't find server.I have pinged both IP addresses from each computer and get a reply from both pc's.In the network window on the host pc I have two area connections one says local connection shared and the other says local connection 11.When i click on local connection 11 in the details window it says LAN connected. IP address 192.168.0.1 sub mask 255.255.255.0 Manually Configured.In the network window on the client pc it says local area connection 2 connected.In the detail window it says lan connected. IP address 192.168.0.23 subnet mask 255.255.255.0 Assigned by DHCP.

and My second pc is running xp pro pentium 2 processor 128 mb memory 6GHz hard drive. The two network cards are D-Link DFE-528TX and Genius GF1TXR4 realtek RTL8139/810x.

Have you set the CORRECT DNS server? If you manually configure the IP adress, you also need to set the DNS server.

I believe this should be the adress of the host computer in your CASE.
