Laptop Not Responding After Creating A Netork

[sulasno]

Tried to connect 2 laptops together using a router; following the instructions on creating a same name workgroup and turning on sharing files and folders, one laptop is not responding after booting up; I suspect it is searching to connect to the other laptop; how to I disable it from searching

[Supernova]

Control Panel > Folder Options

In the View tab, uncheck Automatically search for network folders and printers.

Make sure that both computers have different IP addresses.

Best to let the router assign the address through DHCP.
