I am doing a little 4 people lan right now but i have a problem, i host a server but it is not visible on other computers.. whats the problem? anyone has ANY ideas?
system control panel -> connections -> properties of your LAN connection -> properties of TCP/IP protocol
set a different IP for everyone, use 255.255.255.0 as subnet, DNS should be the LAN switcher if it actually has one, if not use one of the comps as a DNS
i have tried full versions of win vista and win 7
i have tried tweaked/lite versions of win vista and win 7
win vista is a virus not a fucking OS
win 7 is a fucking resource consumer without equivalent output(my lite version of win 7 is stable and is not bad but not as good/fast as i want)
i am back to win xp nlited by me(twice) with everything working fast and smooth
7 is more for the casual computer user from what I've seen, since apparently it boots up pretty fast and lets you access basic programs faster than XP does. However, I also know that it eats up a shitload of resources.
Hence, I stay with XP as long as I can <3
problem solved
set a different IP for everyone, use 255.255.255.0 as subnet, DNS should be the LAN switcher if it actually has one, if not use one of the comps as a DNS
put off windows firewall and any other firewall
windows+r "cmd" "net start"

THIS is a checklist for EVERY lan.
