Peer to peer networking, 2000 Pro <-> XP Home

[Mike]

This should be fairly simple, but I have yet to crack the
code...

I am networking a few desktops and laptops through a hub.
The old mix was Windows 95, 98 SE, and NT4 Workstation -
no problems I couldn't overcome by trial and error...

The current mix is Windows 98 SE, 2000 Pro, and XP Home.
I was successful in getting the 98 systems to "talk" to
both the 2000 and XP systems. However, I am still beating
my head against a wall in getting the 2000 and XP systems
to connect to one another.

There should be a simple solution to this, but I have yet
to find it.

Suggestions will be greatly appreciated - email okay if
you have a quick and easy answer.

Thanks!

Mike

Any firewalls running? especially XPs sneaky one. Do they all get IP
addresses OK?
Sharing enabled, some directories shared?
