need of help!!

[Guest]

I'm running xp home on 2 desk tops and 1 notebook, have a DSL running to a linksys router/switch. All 3 can access the internet and the 2 desk tops can network together. Problem is when I run network wizard on the notebook everything seems fine but when I open network neighborhood nothings there. Question is my notebook has an NTFS file system and the desk tops are Fat32. would this cause a problem? I need help!!

Greetings atech1,

The file systems are irrelevant over the network. Every computer over the
network can read their own disk, so the file systems are not the problem.
The problem could be due to an improperly configured firewall. If the XP's
firewall is enabled or you are running any third party firewalls such as
ZoneAlarm, Sygate, or Norton Internet Security make sure it is properly
configured.
