Windows Network not seeing other pcs...

[drscouse]

This is really annoying and Ive spent the past few hours looking for a solution, tried several, but I still cant see my other XP computers on my network...

I have 2 XPSP" pc's in the same workgroup

Disabled Firewalls on both

Enabled Netbios over TCPIP

File & Printer sharing enabled

Link Layer Topology Discovery Responder installed

DHCP is enabled on both, issued from my router...

IPCONFIG /all shows unknown node type

Ive tried this:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...kb;en-us;903267

I can ping everything, and even map drives.. but the only pc that shows up when I view network computers is the PC I am using...

I always remeber this sometimes being a bit tricky, for some strange reason,but now It seems impossible.!!

Its driving me mad!!!

The only thing I can find which may help, is to install Netbeui, but I dont remember ever having to do this before...

User-ID-A and User-ID-B must be defined on both PC's.

User-ID-A signs onto PC-A, user-ID-B signs onto PC-B.

This may not be the answer you need. I don't use a router but instead use -

NIC-1 on PC-A connected to Internet

NIC-2 on PC-A connected to WorkGroup "device"

NIC-1 on PC-B connected to Workgroup "device"

(above two could have been a simple crossover cable, eliminating the "device")

Firewall allows IP 192.168.x.y on both

Both have IntraConnectiion and InternetConnection (via PC-A)

A single folder on both shared ("Shared Documents" usually)

But you probably already knew all this...
