>Dmitry,
>set up both pc's with the same workgroup name, and also have the ip addresses similar for convience, try 192.168.2.101 and 192.168.2.102. take off dhcp if you are using it. ...

The IP addresses being similar (i.e., the same subnet) would apply if they are on the same router interface (port). If they are on different router interfaces, one router interface and the computer(s) that connect to it should be on one subnet (e.g. 192.168.1.x), but another router interface and the computer(s) that connect to it, should be on a different subnet (e.g. 192.168.2.x).

This is how we always configure Cisco routers in the laboratory; I think the principle would be the same for any other brand, although the exact commands can vary.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
