problem browsing home network with my Laptop

"Asaf" wrote: I have a laptop connected directly to my computer. My computer's IP is:192.168.0.1. When I open Windows Explorer on my laptop, and browse :"My Network Places\Entire Network\Microsoft Windows Network\Home", I get a message saying: "Home is not accessible. The list of servers of this workgroup is not currently available". HOME is the nam e of the workgroup. Nevertheless, when I use "Start-run-\\192.168.0.1", a window opens, displaying the content of my computer. When I try to browse the Internet with my laptop while connected to my computer, it has no problems. In addition, when I try to browse My Network Places\Entire Network\Microsoft Windows Network\Home" on my COMPUTER, it doesn't display the laptop! My computer is running XP, and the laptop is running 2000. When I connect my computer to another computer running XP, I do NOT encounter any problems. ipconfig on my COMPUTER: Connection specific DNS suffix: (none) ip address: 192.168.0.1 subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 deafault gateway: (none) ipconfig on my LAPTOP: Connection specific DNS suffix: mshome.net ip address: 192.168.0.175 subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 deafault gateway: 192.168.0.1 What can I do about it? Thanks. Make sure that NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled on both computers: 1. Open the Network Connections folder. 2. Right click the local area network connection and click Properties. 3. Double click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). 4. Click Advanced. 5. Click WINS. 6. Click the Enable NetBIOS Over TCP/IP button. Run "ipconfig /all" on the XP computer and look at the "Node Type" at the beginning of the output. If it says "Peer-to-Peer" (which should actually be "Point-to-Point") that's the problem. It means that the computer only uses a WINS server, which isn't available on a peer-to-peer network for NetBIOS name resolution. If that's the case, run the registry editor, open this key: HLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netbt\Parame ters and delete these values if they're present: NodeType DhcpNodeType Reboot, then try network access again. If that doesn't fix it, open that registry key again, create a DWORD value called "NodeType", and set it to 1 for "Broadcast" or 4 for "Mixed". For details, see these Microsoft Knowledge Base articles: Default Node Type for Microsoft Clients http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;160177 TCP/IP and NBT Configuration Parameters for Windows XP http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;314053 -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.
