Home network with XP & 2000 computer

[LAS]

We have 3 computers, 2 XP and 1 Win 2000 and a Belkin
10/100 Switch. The XP computers can see each other
fine. But we cannot see the Win 2000 computer nor can
Win 2000 PC see XP computers. They all belong to same
workgroup and it looks like the protocols on Win 2000
machine are set up okay.

Any suggestions? Thanks

Check if File- and printersharing is loaded, is Netbios over TCP/IP enabled
and do all useraccounts exist on all computers?

Thanks Marina. I do have Netbios enabled over TCP/IP -
but I am not sure I understand the part about all user
accounts existing on all computers. Do I need to create
user accounts for each person on every PC? I didn't do
this on the XP machines and they seem to be able to
communicate okay.

Thanks

I forgot to add that I do have file and print sharing
enabled.

ANd one more piece of information - they all belong to
same workgroup. On Win 2000 machine when I go to network
places I can see the Win 2000 machine, but the two XP
machines do not show up.

Yep, you need to create all useraccounts for each person on every pc.

Is the Firewall turned off on those XP's?
