xp 2000 network problem
I can't access shared printer or folders on xp box from
my 2000 box. I have windows xp pro, windows 2000 and a linksys wireless router. I am trying to network the two window machines together. 2000 box was set up through the router to my dsl using a linksys wireless adapter. I added the xp box hardwired to the router. My printer is attached to the xp box and has sharing enabled. I have used the network wizard in xp to set up my connection(using this computer connects to net through network hub, other on network also connect directly). Both machines are in the same workgroup and are using dhcp. I have netbios over tcp/ip enabled on both machines. I can map a shared folder on the 2000 box to the xp box. Ping: works from xp to xp, xp to 2000(using both ip and name). doesn't work from 2000 to xp either by name or ip. (timeout by ip and unknown host by name) basically xp box can see 2000 but 2000 can't see xp under 'view workgroup computers' on the xp box all that is thier is the xp box but, I am still able to map the shared folder on the 2000 box to the xp box. on the 2000 box, I don't see the xp box in the computers close to mine. I have folders with the share option enabled on both systems. most of what I have tried has been from other similar posts or from 'http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/troubles hoot/' site. thanks in advance for the help |
