I have an XP pro SP2 which I'm trying to connect to a tablet PC,
peer-to-peer, with anEthernet cross-over using a realtek NIC on the XP.
They both have a workgroup named MSHOME.
On the tablet, under Explorer>MS Windows Network, there are entries for both PCs.
On the XP, network setup wizard runs okay
but selecting MSHOME under Explorer>MS Windows Network, gives:
"Mshome is not accessible -- maybe need permission."
"List of servers for this workgroup is not avail."

Peter,
That's a blocked SMB issue, caused by a misconfigured, overlooked, or unknown
personal firewall.

Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.
My email is AT DOT
actual address pchuck mvps org.
I manually configured the lan connections' TCP/IP to 192.168.0.1 &
192.168.0.2 with 255.255.255.0 and the Repair command works on both.
All firewalls are off, there's no active virus checking.
Each PC has sent and rec'd a few hundred bytes.
The PC that's connected to the inet (HP) sees the other one (FUJ)
in My NW Places but FUJ doesn't see HP.
I tried running NW Setup Wiz on HP but it wants an internet connection.
I don't want to do this with the firewalls down.
Turning on the firewalls to send this didn't help with the lan.
What should I do?

Oops! 192.168.0.1 conflicts with the modem.
I tried getting it to obtain automatically but it can't
"Renew the IP @".
Support says it's still manually configured @ 169.254.188.133,
mask = 255.255.0.0, but this doesn't look right.

Sorry, I was a bit confused there, but now I'm back to the beginning with a lan
connection with a TCP/IP of 192.168.0.1 and with a working Repair command.
My question is, why does pinging it time out?

Peter,
Start from the beginning, and review the process of setting up 2 computers using
a cross-over cable.
