Machine2 is Windows 2000. Machine1 is XP SP2 with the firewall disabled.
Both machines are on the same subnet.
When admin1 is logged into Machine2, she can browse the Windows Network
and see Machine1, along with its shared printers and folders.
When admin2 is logged into Machine2, Machine1 does not show up anywhere
in browsing, even after a long wait. She can reach Machine1 with Start |
Run "\\Machine1", but she cannot browse there.
The reason that this is a problem is that there is an application that
admin2 needs to run that needs to access a folder on Machine1. The
application does not allow typing in the UNC path.
I just did a temporary work around by mapping a drive letter on Machine2
to Machine1. (I was able to access the folder by typing in the UNC.)
Even then, though, Machine1 still does not show up in Computers Near Me
or Network Neighborhood.
