Sorry I am using parallel cables.Just Checked.
Which port do i have to connect to to enable the sharing of files and internet.
The intex switch is 8 port.
any port.

The LAN cable may be defected.Get your LAN wire tested by LAN testor.

All firewalls are disabled nd pinging gives 0ms avg.

Also even after setting da gateway for one, internet is not available to one of it.

Looks like LAn card problem.remove your LAN card from PCI slot...clean it and fix it in another PCI slot.This may help you.

Thanks to all who replied.

Ok.i was busy troubleshooting the network connection.
This is the way i have connected the two pcs.
1 parallel wire going from PC1 LAN card to switch.
1 parallel wire going from PC2 LAN card to switch.
My modem is connected to the USB port of PC one.
Ok this is the ip i have set on both pcs
PC1
LOCAL AREA CONNECTION 4(USB driver emulated LAN)
IP address-192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask- 255.255.255.0
LOCAL AREA CONNECTION(The nforce onboard LAN)
IP address-192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask- 255.255.255.0
PC2
LOCAL AREA CONNECTION(The nforce 680i onboard LAN)
IP address- 192.168.0.2
Subnet Mask- 255.255.255.0

The problem is that i can access the files on PC2(C and E drive which are shared on PC2)but from PC2 i cannot access the shared Drives ad folders(C and E on PC1 are set to be shared).
I get the following error message.
"Access Denied.You might not have permission to use this network resource.Please contact the system administrator of that server."

Please help.

And thanks to all again.

Have you run network setup wizard on both PC.Check , there must be some firewall blocking the sharing.

I think ur internet is working fine on both PC.

i suggest you make the following changes: connect the modem to the hub instead of PC1 in autodial mode. this way you needn't turn on PC1 to surf from PC2.

also change the ip address of modem/lan4 to 192.168.1.3.

set the gateway and primary dns in PC1 and PC2 as 192.168.1.3.

In the zone
if ur using a modem which just has 1 ethernet port then its DHCP server is set to give out only one IP adress...

what u can do is connect one comp with usb >> & connect the other comp to the ethernet of the 1st comp .. & enable internet sharing on the 1st comp >>
so it will be like modem to 1st PC >>> ethernet of 1st pc to ethernet of 2nd pc >>> plus enable internet conxn sharing ..

DHCP also give a range of IP(like 192.168.1.2 --192.168.1.254) ..which you can set in modem setting .

If DHCP is not enable, than modem does not assign any IP to system.
Also DHCP work only when PC is set to "take IP automatically".

Gateway for all (the ip of your modem)
192.168.1.1

or you may want to bridge the lan connections and make the ip of PC1 the gateway of PC2

dns and gateway: 192.168.1.1

PC2:

Since i don't have a crossover cable i cannot connect my modem to the switch.This is the configuration i have set
ADSL-My net connection
LOCAL AREA NETWORK 4-My USB emulated LAN
LOCAL AREA NETWORK- My onboard LAN
The Modem is connected to PC1 via usb.The LAN of PC1 is connected to the switch via parallel cable.The other PC is connected to the switch via parallel cable.The speed is set to 100Mbps.
This is the IP,Gateway and DNS server config-
LOCAL AREA CONNECTION 4(PC1)-
IP : 192.168.1.XX
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1
DNS Server : 192.168.1.1

LOCAL AREA CONNECTION(PC1)-
IP : 192.168.0.2
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0

LOCAL AREA CONNECTION(PC2)-
IP : 192.168.0.6
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway : 192.168.0.2
DNS Server : 192.168.0.2

ADSL is allowed to be shared.
That probably sums up the config
:)
