LAN Problem!

[go4saket]

Hi Guys!

I have two computers connected to each other via a switch. The problem is that whenever I try to access the other computers files by going to "My Network Places", it takes 2-3 minutes to open, which I feel is very long. Once open, accessing files isnt a problem. The settings are as follows:

1st Computer:
TCP IP Settings:
IP Address: 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
Preferred DNS Server: 192.168.0.1

2nd Computer:
TCP IP Settings:
IP Address: 192.168.0.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
Preferred DNS Server: 192.168.0.1

Is there anything wrong that I have done. Both computers are about 25-30 Mts away.

Thank you.

hey! you have a problem in between "too much distance" buy one usb link connector or hub.

^that distance is fine

Try accessing the computer directly frm "My Network Places" by typing "\\ComputerName" in the address bar.
