  • Connecting 2 PCs

    I need to connect my old PC, running XP Pro, and my new PC, running Vista Home Premium. I want to do this with a crossover ethernet cable, which I have. I am not interested in advice that directs me to use a switch/router. I know how to do that, but I'm not moving equipment around. I have visited myriad links on interwebs and none have provided any resolution. I have a large amount of data and a USB external will probably take a day. Finally, I just want to make this work so I can put to use this crossover cable I made today.

    Here is the setup:

    XP computer:

    Static IP: 192.168.0.1
    Subnet: 255.255.255.0
    Default gateway and dns are blank
    Username and password match Vista
    Workgroup name: Renamed to WORKGROUP and computer restarted
    Firewalls off
    All relevant files I want shared have sharing turned ON.
    Computer name: admin

    Vista computer:

    Static IP: 192.168.0.2
    Subnet: 255.255.255.0
    Default gateway and dns are blank
    Username and password match XP
    Workgroup name: WORKGROUP
    Firewalls off
    Network discovery ON
    File sharing ON
    Computer name: owner

    I ran this setup with all network adapters disabled except for one on each computer (in which the crossover cable was connected)

    I can successfully ping 192.168.0.1 from my Vista PC. When I type in \\192.168.0.1 into the RUN box, it pulls up this:




    I have tried the following:
    Usernameassword
    ADMIN\Usernameassword
    FUCKOFF:FUCKYOUWORK


    I'm really at a loss. I feel like there must be something easy I am missing. Any ideas??
