Default XP machines not acting the same


I disabled IPX. No luck. Now after a few days, I haven't made any
changes and the scenario is:
THe Win 7 Machine doesn't see either XP machine even though it can ping
them both.
One of the XP machines sees the Win 7 Machine but can't access it at
all.
The other XP machine( the one that runs with the better connectivity)
can open Windo7 7 shares on cmd but cannot see the Win 7 Machine in
WorkGroup.
Both XP machines share and see each other
THis is Unreal. I have tried the LLLTD hot fix and everything else
under the sun- NO LUCK! HELP!
My wife has a work from home office and I just got laid off so I
thought I would work on making her computing more efficient with printer
and file sharing but this is a disaster.I have spent over 100hrs on
this.
Oh, I also disable IPV6 again- No luck.
And....I connected all 3 machines to the router by ethernet to rule out
any wireless issues...still no help.
AAARRGGHHH!
And 1 more thing- I dont get this at all...THe Win 7 Machine can't
access itself in the network- access is denied! WTH?

I see you have IPX protocol enabled. You might have your Microsoft
networking bound to both NetBT (TCP/IP) and IPX and the machines could

get confused as to which interface to use.

If you don't need IPX protocol, then disable/uninstall it.

If you do need it, try un-binding it from the File and Printer Sharing

services...
Double-click Network Connections Control panel - Advanced (Menu) -

Advanced Settings(Dropdown) - Click on your "Local Area Connection" in

top window then in bottom window make sure only TCP/IP is checked under

the File and Printer Settings (maybe for Client for Microsoft Networks

as well).

HTH,
John
