Default XP machines not acting the same

Alright, I have tried everything on the net to get my networked
"worked" out...
Anyway, Here is my problem:
I have a home network with 3 machines- 2 XP machines and 1 Win 7.
I swapped out an older XP machine with a new WIN 7 machine.
After changing everything under the sun(sometimes not waiting long
enough I think to let setting take effect) to get them all to
communicate.

IPXEnabled = TRUE
IPXFrameType = 255
IPXVirtualNetNumber = 2735D185



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
