, and select properties. in the general tab, look for "file and printer sharing for microsoft networks" and make sure the checkbox next to it is selected. ( if it isn't in the list, go to Install> Service>Add and choose this service to add it.) now return to the general tab, select " internet protocol (TCP/IP)" and click on properties. Enter an IP address such as "192.168.1.11" and a subnet mask of 255.255.0 for one computer, and the IP address "192.168.1.11" and the same subnet mask for the other .
