I started toying around with networking tonight to see if i could figure it out by myself. I did everything windows told me to do i went through the wizards created a "home or small office" network. I shared a couple files, but i don't know how to verify that the connection between the two computers is working, where the files should show up on either computer. What i have set up (from what i understand) is:
CompA with a Realtek RTL8029(AS) PCI Ethernet Adapter though a (crossover or ethernet cable? I don't know how to tell the difference) into CompB with a Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC...
Could someone please tell me how to check if the network is working or something i might have done wrong?
