Hi, I am in the process of setting up a small (two PC's, both running Windows 7) network using a D-link DI-604 router (which acts only as hub, it's not set up in any way).
In the Network and 'Sharing Center' in 'Control Panel' I clicked 'Set up a New (Connection or) Network'.
All went well up until the moment I attempted to connect one PC with the other (in the 'Connect' dialog I entered the other PC's IP, no pwd). I can use both PC's to connect to and browse the net though, so the router/hub does not seem to be the problem.
And I must have done something right, because the other computer shows up in the 'Network Map'.
Any and all help is much appreciated!
