XP Home and Pro P2P
I'm going through another round of the workgroup P2P dance. This time it's Home and Pro, and they can ping by name (since I put each PC in the other hosts file) but can't browse the other. On both, NetBIOS over TCP-IP is enabled, the helper service is started, and the XP-Firewall exception is on. Earlier I tried it with a firewall exception for port 445 but not 137-139 because I have read that XP only needs SMB and not NetBIOS. But the browser service wouldn't start on Home. It did on Pro though, so it looks like Home needs NetBIOS. Can anyone confirm that? In any case 137-139 are excepted now, and still no browsing. (A domain is so much easier!) Thanks for any suggestions. -- Reply in group, but if emailing add one more zero, and remove the last word. |
