Getting really frustrated. OK, here's the set-up - 2 PCs with integrated NICs in the mobos connected via a crossed cable. both running XP pro, I have run the network set-up wizard on both systems and when I use the "My Network Places" and click "View Wokgroup Computers" I can see both computers however I cannot see any shared files on either system and if I click the computer1 icon from computer2 or vise-versa I get a not allowed access error mssage. also I have a little icon in my system tray saying "little or no connectivity" and when I open the status but it says it's because "the nework has not assigned a network address to this computer" but I have no idea what that means, I assumed the wizard would take care of everything. I only need the network to share files, not to share net connection.
HELP!
