networking help. strange problem

[Ren111]

I have a strange one here. I am trying to set up a LAN between 2 win2000 computers using a cross over cable. I thought things were working out but having some problems.
I can ping both computers from computer 1, but I cant ping computer 1 from computer 2. I can access the hard drives on computer 1 from computer 2 but can't see anything from computer 1. I thought this was strange.

Since I can see each computer with one method or another,, I assume that it is not a problem with the cable. I have the IP's as follows:
computer 1 - 192.168.0.2 subnet 255.255.255.0
computer 2 - 192.168.0.3 subnet 255.255.255.0
I have IPX enabled and netbui. there is nothing in the DNS area or WINS.

What could be wrong

Thanks for any help.

Paul

Likely more than one issue. If you're running sharing software or firewall on computer 1, it could block ping. On computer 2, try creating new drive share and give access to "everybody". If that doesn't fix it, move your query to network forum for more responses.
