Guest Scotty B. Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Hello Experts: This one has me stumped, and if someone could assist, I would be deeply appreciative. I have two PCs, which I will call OLD and NEW. Below are the settings: OLD 192.168.1.100 (IP) 255.255.255.0 (Subnet) 192.168.1.1 (Gateway) NEW 192.168.1.101 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1 The new PC is brand new, and has Windows XP SP 2 running. The OLD PC has the same OS. Inbetween the two PCs is a standard router. If the Windows or Zone Alarm firewall is running, the PCs can not ping each other, even if allowed via zone alarm. After disabling the firewalls, the PCs can ping each other, and do appear in the arp -a command. After ensuring the firewalls are off, and ensuring the pcs can ping each other, I then use the Windows XP Transfer and File Settings Wizard (Trying to get Outlook Express and other folders on the new PC.) I have used this wizard on many of friends PCs with no issues; however, this time, when I use the wizard, the error appears: The computer can not be found on the network. Please check the connection or network and try again. The error appears whether I start the wizard from the Old or New PC. Any ideas? This one has me stumped. Thanks!!!! :)

I have read the information and it is very informative; but, it unfortunately does not address why I can ping both PCs from each other; yet, when using the network option, the wizard states the computer can not be found on the network. Any ideas? Unfortunately, I do not have a burner on the old PC, or I would have just burned the needed files and copied them back. I figured the network would have been the easiest, as I have used it for friends in the past. Thanks again!!!
