hello
I am trying to connect my two laptops together to share my files but with no success. Both have vista home edition and i have set both with IP address of 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.3 and subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and default gateway of 192.168.0.1. When i ping the addresses i get a request timeout and lose all 4 sent packages. one laptop is an acer and the newer is a Dell. Acer has a green solid light on at the port and the dell has a solid orange. can you help me please
