Windows XP Pro
I have Windows Peer to Peer TCP/IP network. 5 computers running Windows XP
Pro and a Windows 2000 Server all hooked together with a DSL router that hands out ip address and shares the access the internet. I recently purchased an Notebook computer with Windows XP Pro. I joined the workgroup. This computer is able to get an ip address and access the internet with no problems. However, this computer cannot browse the network neighborhood or view any of the shares on any of the other computers or printers on the peer to peer network. Hardwired or wireless. I have disabled the firewall on Windows. None of the other computers on the network have this problem. Any advice on how to troubleshoot this issue or suggestions on how to get it to see the other computers files? I am beating my head against the wall trying to figure this on out.

However, this computer cannot browse the network neighborhood or view any of the shares on any of the other computers or printers on the peer to peer network. In a peer-to-peer network such as yours, all security information is held on each machine locally. You have to tell each machine what users are allowed to access it. In other words, presuming your new Notebook has a different User log-on to each of the other machines, you have to create that User log-on on each machine the Notebook needs to access.....

I will reply with results. Kevin OK, Kevin, It's a standard reply in that it requests further diagnosis, and suggests an initial investigation protocol. Don't be deceived though, subsequent investigation, for each person reporting a problem, can vary widely. The combination of possible symptoms reported x the actual cause of the symptoms, yields hundreds of combinations. When it works, Windows Networking is extremely simple to setup and to maintain. When it breaks, that's another story. -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.

Windows XP Pro
I had the same problem and nothing I did would cure the problem. I ended up
re-installing XP pro on the compter and the problem got solved. I do not have the answer but what I did worked. Tony "keVin" wrote in message ...

Have you made sure that all your PC's are under the same network name. You
can also make sure that your host computer is allowing your laptop into your network. If this is all on the up and up there is a nice little program that I have used in the past its called network magic and it sets up an network and monitor it Good luck Dana -- If all else fails F(disk) it "keVin" wrote: I have Windows Peer to Peer TCP/IP network. 5 computers running Windows XP Pro and a Windows 2000 Server all hooked together with a DSL router that hands out ip address and shares the access the internet.
