    If you're connecting two computers directly via Ethernet cable, it needs to be a crossover cable, not a standard patch cable. If you're using a hub or a switch, patch cables will work ok.
    Nothing can stop me now, 'cause I don't care anymore.

    What OS are you running on your computers? 2000? (XP should be about the same)

    right click on network neighborhood and select properies
    right click on local connection and select properties
    put a check mark in the box for file and print sharing

    then in explorer, right click on the folder you want to share and select "sharing"
