You will need to state what you have done.

That article is a tad strange. Maybe win2K is different than XP, but I find it much better to turn DHCP services completely off.

Sure, have them on and run the wizard to set the network up first. But then, turn the services off and pop in the ip's on each machine by hand and set default gateway = job done (apart from setting the firewall).

You have turned firewalls off whilst you are trouble shooting, ya?

Me rereads the post = doh!

Umm.... you dont fancy explaining that last bit? Zone alarm, networks and first timers tend not to mix well
