Hi

I have 2 x pcs running xp , one of them with 2 Nic cards in and one with just one, the pc with 2 x nic cards is connected to my NTL set top box, then the other nic is connected to the second pc, some time ago i set them up so that windows ics alowed me to use the net on both computers this worked fine aswell as file sharing, however i have not used it for a while and when i tried it the other day the internet wouldnt work on the second pc also on doing a search on my network places the other pc had gone. I have tried to set up the network again on both machines but they cant seem to see each other, ive done a bit of messing about for instance the workgroup names were different ie one was mshome and the other workgroup, so i set them to the same, computer names are different, ive checked the ipconfig/all on both machines and the ip range seems to be different also the subnet mask, does anybody know why this might be?, i would be grateful for any info

thanks in advance
