Re: Help configuring AT with XP and Crossover Cable

The name of my PC is TC-XP. It's IP is 10.0.0.10, while the AT is
10.0.0.20. Both can ping each other.

I think the problem is that I don't have anything configured as the DNS
server, because I don't know what that would be. On the Share Search
options page, I've tried entering both \\TC-XP\Audiotron and \\10.0.0.10
\Audiotron.

When I use \\10.0.0.10\Audiotron, I get :

Host TC-XP found at IP 10.0.0.10
\\TC-XP - Error accessing host, Error = 53


When I use \\TC-XP\Audiotron I get :

Can't get IP address for host TC-XP-HM
Completed Operation



When the AT pings TC-XP it reports : Ping Failed: No DNS Server configured.


I think I'm close, but I'm getting wrapped around the axle on the DNS
server and/or gateway entries when running in this direct connect mode.

Yes, I am running XP SP2 with Firewall. Are there any settings to make
with that?

Thanks,

-Tim
