Hi guys,please help.I am trying to connect 2 computers by way of crossover cable.I have set up a small ofice network on both computers and restarted both.One computer 1 is able to network to 2 but computer 2 is unable to connect to computer 1.In the tray of computer 2 it says there is no or limited connection i think this might be the problem but how can i solve it?I tried restarting and re-setting up the small network (both computers have the same workgroup name).
Thanks in advance,Ryan.

Can you try to connect them via hub/switch/router?

First off, what Operating Systems are these computers running?

Networking PCs that method isn't easy or the most efficient way either, if both PC are running XP run the "Network Setup Wizard" on both PC's that should work.
