The OS is XP. One machine is SP2, the other is SP1. The problem was the same
before I upgraded to SP2 and I've turned off the XP firewall on both.
The subset mask is 255.255.248.0 on both machines
How do I find the config for the hub?
I've just noticed the node type was peer to peer on one of the machines so
I've changed it to Hybrid (like the other machine). Don't know if this
affects anything (it's for name resolution isn't it? It doesn't work even
with explicit IP addresses)
Thanks,
Jay.
