Hi,
A cuople things to consider...have you identified correct IP addresses between the
two? Sharing? can you "ping" each one? (go to Start > Run > "CMD" > "ping 127.0.0.1")
Replace 127.0.0.1 with the IP address of the target. 127.0.0.1 is your local (loop
back) address and will tell you if you can send/receive to your own machine, helpful
toestablish if your protocols are corerctly idetnified as well, but you said you
can connect either to the internet solo, so no worries there I guess...Try those
first and let me know if you still have problems.
