a) Sharing installed.
b) IPs set.
c) I am using CAT5.
The computers can't ping. The main problem is still the same: the second computer

I am reluctant to get a switch just for these computers, as I remember being able
to solve this kind of problem before. I just do not have the slightest idea how I
did it then.
