D-Link DE 805TP/C  Networking Hub

Connecting 2 PCs Via the D-Link Hub

posted by ajog on Jan 08, 2008


The uplink of the D-Link hub is connected to a Voyager 2000 DSL modem. Two desktop PCs (one running XP, the other Vista) are connected to the hub with standard ethernet cables. I can see the Internet from both PCs and connectivity to the modem and out to the internet is fine. However I can't see either PC from the other. The modem has assigned 192.168.1.3 to one PC and 192.168.1.65 to the other. When I try to ping either of these addresses from the other, I get all request timed out. Please help! TIA

Thank you. The key here was to make the network private on the Vista machine (public sounds more intuitive) and also allowing the machines into the trusted zones in the firewalls.

Hi Ajog,

Those Ips look good. Make sure the Subnet on both is 255.255.255.0. Since they are both getting to the internet, I assume the Gateway IP is correct.

On the 192.168.1.3, got to Start>Run and type in CMD. A black window will open, and type in PING 192.168.1.65. You should get four responses. If you don't, you probley have a firewall issue.

Do that same on the 192.168.1.65 machine, back to the 192.168.1.3 machine.

On the XP machine, follow these instruction, just skip down to Step 9.

Vista gets a little tricker, but not bad. To setup the network on the Vista machine, go here, ad click on the Network icon.
Great link to save to your desktop!

Using the network wizards should setup your firewalls to allow File and Printer Sharing.

Good luck
