To clarify, you have 2 computers that are connected by a crossover cable (no router, no hubs, no switches), and you are using ICS. Is this correct? Is DHCP enabled on ICS? Are you assigning static IP addresses?

2 computers connected by a cross-over cable, with no router hubs switches etc. Yes i am trying (lol) to use ICS. I am not quite sure if dhcp is enabled on ics? static means the ip never changes correct? they are static but I didn't assign. I was hoping someone could tell me how to assign ip's so i could just fix it like that? I'm not really sure what to do, I do know that no information is going across network at all, not one packet and i cannot ping the other comps so i'm not quite sure ics is affecting it yet, but i'm by far no expert at all on the subject, not even close so if u think it a problem with my ics and not the network itself plz go on =) thank u for ur speedy reply also
