i wanted to connect two computers by using the lan cable.
i first changed the ip address of both comp. to
192 .168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2
then switched off the window firewall and then switched off the avg scanner also.
THen allow the sharing of drives.after that when i click view network connections in compaq one it show itself on network . But in laptop when i click on view network connections it shows nothing but a beep sound .it also does not show the error that you are not allowed by the administ....
it only beeps and nothing.
how should i correct this problem.saurabhthelord

Almost all modern nics support autonegotiate. You do not need a crossover.
To make it simple. Use a login password on the side you want to share. Then map drive, but connect as the user and password. Also some folders can't be shared unless you attach as admin. That is to protect your system so says MS.

Autonegotiate is for bandwidth (ie: 10/100/1000 Mbps) and duplex (half/full) as far as I know, all network interfaces have been autonegotiate for years. This doesn't have anything to do with whether or not to use a crossover cable.
What you're talking about is MDIX.
Regardless, whenever you're connecting like devices (whether they are auto MDIX capable or not) it's always best to use a crossover cable.

i forgot to tell u that but its already a cross over cable.
i have connected them before but now there is a some problem in it and i don't know how to repair my computer without reinstalling windowssaurabhthelord

It could be a simple misconfiguration. You listed the IP's, do both have the exact same subnet mask? Are both PC's in the same workgroup?
I'm not sure what would be causing the beeping but it's also possible that you have something corrupted in the TCP/IP stack. If the above settings are correct, then you may want to next try uninstalling then reinstalling the TCP/IP stack on the laptop.

Almost all modern nics support Auto MDI/MDI-X. You do not need a crossover.
As I understand it you can use the share from one computer but not the other way. Is that correct? If so then it is a permission issue.

they do not have same workgroup but they have same subnet mask.and there is no harm in the joining cable.it is in perfect codition.
i think there is some problem in laptop but it is not the permission issue because if the computers are not properly connected or firewall is on it shows an error that you are restricted by administrator or something like this only.
actualy i think something has gone wrong in the laptop .does anyone know how to correct it and if reinstall where will i find the tcp,ip drivers.saurabhthelord

Right click on your network interface (likely named 'Local Area Connection' and select 'Propteries' from the pulldown menu. Then click on 'Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)' and finally, click on uninstall.
Click uninstall then reboot and reinstall the TCP/IP stack.
Jefro:
What if he has a NIC that doesn't support auto MDIX....then a crossover is most definately required....period!
Best to give advice that will work no matter what (like telling someone to use a crossover in this particular case) rather then complicate things even more. If one (or both) of the OP's NIC's aren't auto MDIX capable, then all your advice will have succeeded in doing is giving them a second problem on top of the first should they take it and use a regular patch cable.

You can also try Winsockfix to fix XP networking issue.
Here is how I connected 2 computers directly by using crossover cable. Take a look if you like.
