Add a network
Hi:
I'm trying to get my computer to recognize a laptop in the same room. We have a home network set up. Prior to upgrading to XP-pro from ME, everything worked. (surprisingly, since much else didn't with ME). I have not needed access until today, in that I have a file residing on the laptop which I desparately need on the PC and no media to burn out to on the laptop. What do I have to do to get both computers to recognize each other? Thanks. All help is appreciated. |

this may help. quoted from http://www.ChicagoTech.net
NetBIOS and WINS are required in a mixed network NetBIOS and WINS name resolution is required only on mixed-mode (Windows 95, 98, Me, NT, 2000 and XP) networks to provide backward-compatibility older versions of Windows. If you have a domain mixed-mode network with DHCP and DNS, you are better to cerate WINS in your system. In workgroup mixed-mode network, most people enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP to resolve NetBIOS name to equivalent to IP addresses. Alternatively, you can install NetBEUI protocol in the clients. -- For more and other information, go to http://www.ChicagoTech.net Don't send e-mail or reply to me except you need consulting services.
