A simple home network made easy.
You dont mention that you are using a router but I will assume you are.
1. Ensure the router is DHCP enabled.
2. Set each machine to automatically configure its ip dns and gateway.
Now if you are still having problems connecting (its usually the router that is the culprit, try the next option...)
The router will generally offer an ip pool of 198.162.2.2-192.168.2.40
I would give the first computer an ip of 192.168.2.2, then .3, .4,.5. The subnet mask will be 255.255.255.0 .
I would set the dns and the gateway to 192.168.2.1 as the router would be acting as the gateway to the internet.
Does that help at all?
