share [g+] share [fb]

I have a strange problem:

When I assign addresses of the form 10.0.0.x to my computers, file sharing (smb) does not work.

When I assign them addresse of the form 192.168.1.x it works...

OS is XP SP3, for subnetmasks i tried both 255.255.255.0 and 255.0.0.0

Any ideas what I can do?

[EDIT] I forgot to add: pinging doesn't work either

Is your router's IP address set to 10.0.0.1? If it's set to 192.168.1.1, this might not work.

The routers ip address is 10.0.0.138. The PCs are assigned adresses by DHCP. But even when I disconnect the router and set the addresses manually it doesn't work – bubbles2 Nov 29 '09 at 14:07

If you disconnect your router, you don't have a network. – Macha Nov 29 '09 at 14:24

Don't configure IP adresses manually! Install Bonjour for Windows and have it find everything automatically.
