ok so the last time my friend and i connected our computers using an ethernet cable, we ran the wizard for setting up a "small office or home computer." It worked we could share files and everything.

This time.. it didn't work. My computer has the internet, I am connected to his computer by an ethernet cable...I have the internet but we cannot share files or play games via cable connection options.

Any ideas?
 
are you using a router or a direct computer to computer link?

also, make sure you are using the same workgroup name, and similar IP addresses. I find it much easier to manually assig a similar IP to each system
 
If you go PC to PC make sure you use a CROSS OVER cable. A regular ethernet cable will not work.
 
It could also be that all you have to do is connect to the network you set up already.

But some times people forget to change the cables from the regular Ethernet to the Cross Over. I have done it several times myself. ;)
