Are your computers running WinXP Home, Pro, or a combination? This makes a difference. Are you running both Client for Microsoft Networks, and File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks (Local Area Connection - Properties), on each computer? Do you have shares setup on each? Are you running NetBIOS Over TCP/IP (Local Area Connection - Properties - TCP/IP - Properties - Advanced - WINS) on each computer? Make sure the browser service is running on the desktop computer. Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Services. Verify that the Computer Browser, and the TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper, services both show with Status = Started. Disable the browser on the laptop. On any XP Pro computer, check to see if Simple File Sharing (Control Panel - Folder Options - View - Advanced settings) is enabled or disabled. With XP Pro, you need to have SFS properly set on each computer. On XP Pro with SFS disabled, check the Local Security Policies (Control Panel - Administrative Tools). Under Local Policies - Security Options, look at "Network access: Sharing and security model", and ensure it's set to "Classic - local users authenticate as themselves". On XP Pro with SFS disabled, if you set the above Local Security Policy to "Guest only", enable the Guest account, using Start - Run - "cmd" - type "net user guest /active:yes" in the command window. If "Classic", setup and use a common non-Guest account on all computers. Whichever account is used, give it an identical, non-blank password on all computers. On XP Home, and on XP Pro with Simple File Sharing enabled, make sure that the Guest account is enabled, on each computer. Enable Guest with Start - Run - "cmd", then type "net user guest /active:yes" in the command window. On XP Pro, if you're going to use Guest authentication, check your Local Security Policy (Control Panel - Administrative Tools) - User Rights Assignment, on the XP Pro computer, and look at "Deny access to this computer from the network". Make sure Guest is not in the list. Do any of the computers have a software firewall (ICF / WF, or third party)? If so, you need to configure them for file sharing. Firewall configurations are a very common cause of (network) browser, and file sharing, problems. And please don't contribute to the spread and success of email address mining viruses.
