    Cool

    You have a name or protocal conflict.
    Try setting one computer as 192.168.0.0 and the other as 192.168.0.1 in the TCP/IP properties (static ip's).
    Also if your connecting via ethernet, you either need a crossover cable or two straight cables and a small 5 port hub.

    Any IP ENDING in 0 is not valid. It should be 192.168.0.1-254

    Make sure both PC names are unique from each other.
