Weird Workgroups in XP
I am trying to set two computers at home to network in a
shared workgroup. They are connected to a switch which is connected to a router that is also a DHCP server. Both PCs can browse the internet and they have dynamic IPs allocated. One computer works great with a workgroup while the other computer is not working at all. Bad PC: I have tried every configuration including every identical configuaration as Good PC. Good PC: Sometimes the other (Bad) PC will show up in the workgroup under "Microsoft Windows Network" but I cannot access it. I can browse all its (Good PC) shares and everything appears normal. Bad PC: It takes a long time every time I click on "MS Windows Network"; finally it shows the workgroup in the list. When I click on the workgroup though it say the workgroup is not accessible. and "The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available" What can I be doing wrong? I have un-and-reinstalled the services in the connections proeperties, changed settings and allowed everyone access. I don't know what it could be.. Thanks |
