XP network, PC not showing...
Thank you for wanting to read into these groups and providing any useful
answers! My problem is the following: I run Windows XP Media Center edition SP2 on my PC and Windows XP Home edition SP3 on my netbook. When I connect both with a (Crossover) lan cable, I set up a network between them. My (ADSL, USB-modem) internet connection gets shared right away, so on my netbook I can go online too. (don't have wireless router yet). Now, I have two minor problems happening... First: When my netbook automatically goes in standby and I put it back on, there seems to be a problem with the LAN (and thus, the internet-)connection... connection beint limited or non-existent. Rebooting sometimes does help, but mostly it doesn't... Secondly: I don't seem to get a real connection between the both computers. There must be a network between them, since I can use the internet connection from the PC on my netbook (or am I wron on that one?) but in the "workgroup" my netbook only 'sees' itself (and not the PC) and the PC doesn't even see itself. there are several folders shared on the pc, and in the firewall settings I set sharing as an exeption... So far I transferred files between both computers with flash-drives and hard drives (and small files even through my email-account, since the internet connection is the one that does work...). It would be nice tough to be able to work on files located on the other machine (since I do a fair amount of photo-editing on my PC, but the files should stay on my netbook. So far I just transferred them from netbook to pc; then edited and then transferred them back. (photo-editing on a small screen is just impossible ;-) ) thanks again for any usefol commentaries or advice. I hope I provided enough necessary information. (oh, and yes, I did try to find an answer to my problem in these groups and elsewhere online before making this post...)

XP network, PC not showing...
Hi, thanks for the answer.
NetBIOS is activated on both computers... The Computer Browser issue is something I didn't know about, but could it be that? The PC doesn't even 'see' itself in the network places folder. Anyway, the computer browser process is active. Disabling won't help as I understand. I managed to set them up in a wireless connection directly between both computers and the internet from the PC gets shared very well to the netbook. The netbook only sees itself in network places and the PC doesn't show any computer, including itself. Can't figure what the problem could be... Thanks in advance.

You could fill in the form at http://winhlp.com/wxnet.htm and
check for some less likely causes. But keep discussing this with Bob too, who knows his stuff well. Hans-Georg

Thank you for wanting to read into these groups and providing any useful answers! My problem is the following: I run Windows XP Media Center edition SP2 on my PC and Windows XP Home edition SP3 on my netbook. When I connect both with a (Crossover) lan cable, I set up a network between them. My (ADSL, USB-modem) internet connection gets shared right away, so on my netbook I can go online too. (don't have wireless router yet). Now, I have two minor problems happening... First: When my netbook automatically goes in standby and I put it back on, there seems to be a problem with the LAN (and thus, the internet-)connection... connection beint limited or non-existent. Rebooting sometimes does help, but mostly it doesn't... Secondly: I don't seem to get a real connection between the both computers. There must be a network between them, since I can use the internet connection from the PC on my netbook (or am I wron on that one?) but in the "workgroup" my netbook only 'sees' itself (and not the PC) and the PC doesn't even see itself. there are several folders shared on the pc, and in the firewall settings I set sharing as an exeption... So far I transferred files between both computers with flash-drives and hard drives (and small files even through my email-account, since the internet connection is the one that does work...). It would be nice tough to be able to work on files located on the other machine (since I do a fair amount of photo-editing on my PC, but the files should stay on my netbook. So far I just transferred them from netbook to pc; then edited and then transferred them back. (photo-editing on a small screen is just impossible ;-) ) thanks again for any usefol commentaries or advice. I hope I provided enough necessary information. (oh, and yes, I did try to find an answer to my problem in these groups and elsewhere online before making this post...)
