New XP Install
I have just installed a new computer with a new install of WinXP Pro
on my network. The computer can connect to the internet over the network. When I click on "My Network Places", I get an empty window. What do I need to do to see the other computers and the devices on the network. I don't remember having this problem in the past. TIA Joe

Hi
Make sure that the Software Firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall On, Vista/XP Native Firewall should be Off, and the active Firewall has to adjusted to your Network IP numbers on what is some time called the Trusted Zone (consult your 3rd Party Firewall instructions. General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted Windows 7 Work Network, http://www.onecomputerguy.com/window...s7_sharing.htm Vista File and Printer Sharing- http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../bb727037.aspx Windows XP File Sharing - http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;304040 Printer Sharing XP -http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/expert/honeycutt_july2.mspx Windows Native Firewall setting for Sharing XP -http://support.microsoft.com/kb/875357 Windows XP patch for Sharing with Vista (Not need for XP-SP3) - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922120 Sharing between Windows XP and Mac - http://www.realifewebdesigns.com/web...file-share.asp When done hard reboot all network computers and the Router.
