Have a 2 'puter home network encompassing a win 98SE and a Win Me connected
via a hub for a few years. Each computer has its own name and operates
through a common workgroup. Protocols are TCP/IP and IPX/SPX for File and
Print Sharing.
Have just purchased a new Win XP and have tried for the last 3 hours to
connect to the home network but to no avail. I have deactivated the Windows
Firewall but am using the Norton firewall. The XP connects to the Internet
OK but I can't get it to see the home network nor will the other 'puters see
it. It's most likely a configuration problem but I can't seem to figure it
out because XP is so different from the Win 9x types.
Anything obvious ?
