All you have to do is plug in the cards and connect the wires, XP sets it up all by itself. you CAN'T screw it up! Maybe it's because you installed the same XP serial on both computers!

Anyway, all three computers are set to the same workgroup and everything using the home networking wizard, yet when I go to "View Workgroup Computers" on any of them, My Network Places stops responding.
