"View workgroup connection" icon shows one PC only

[zillah]

I have got windows 2000 Advanced server on my laptop (Name: nicedell) and windows XP Pro with SP2 on Desktop (Name: P4).

The PCs can ping each other without any problem. Both PCs belong same group.

When I click “View workgroup computers” on the Desktop, I can see only P4 (OS XP) , I can not see nicedell (W2K server).

When I click “View workgroup computers” on the laptop, I can see only P4 (OS XP) , I can not see nicedell (W2K server).

Well,

check if the computer browser service is enabled on both and check if on the connection properties are enabled just the tcp/ip protocols. If yes, you have to enable also the other two (not the qos one, that is ininfluent) which i don't know how are named in the english edition pf the oses.

Kind Regards
