First of all I feel your pain. I had the same problem
networking to XP pro machines. If your work groups are
the same, and you are able to ping the machines
successfully, you may need to go and restart the computer
browser service. I am not sure if you have already done
this. GO to the control panel, administrative tools,
services, right click on computer browser on the right
pane. Then just stop the service and restart it. THis
has worked for me on serveral occassions.
I have a qestion for you, I need to network windows XP to
windows 95, is this possible, and if so how did you do
it? Do I just need to run the CD on the win95 machine
after I set up the network on the XP machine.
