Alex,
Sorry about that. I should have also pointed you to:
<

OK, so far we can see:
o There are no name / address resolution problems. Node Types Hybrid and
Unknown are all compatible.
o There are no gratuitous protocols. NBT, and only that, on all 3 computers.
o All 3 computers are apparently connected, and Alex, at any case, sees the
other 2.
Now, how are you authenticating on your XP Pro computers? Please start here,
and read this entire article:
<
http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/06/file-sharing-under-windows-xp.html#Guest>
The most likely cause of your problem is going to be a misconfigured firewall on
one of the computers, apparently Windows Firewall (do you have SP2, or pre-SP2 -
please inventory all 3 computers!) / Internet Connection Firewall (if pre-SP2):
<

If there absolutely are no firewall problems, and if authentication is not an
issue, then read the entire troubleshooting article:
<
http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/troubleshooting-network-neighborhood.html>
We can also try diagnosing the problem in depth. Take the following code
(everything inside the "#####"). (Please verify computer names and ip
addresses).
1. Open Notepad. Ensure that Format - Word Wrap is not checked. Highlight
then Copy the code (Ctrl-C), precisely as it is presented, and Paste (Ctrl-V)
into Notepad. Verify, and correct, names and addresses if necessary.
2. Save the Notepad file as "cdiag.cmd", as type "All Files", into the root
folder "C:\".
3. Run it by Start - Run - "c:\cdiag".
4. Wait patiently.
5. When Notepad opens up displaying c:\cdiag.txt, first check Format and
ensure that Word Wrap is NOT checked! Then, copy the entire contents (Ctrl-A
Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V) into your next post.
Do this from all computers, please, with all computers powered up and online.
##### Start CDiag Code
