I just recently got a new computer with XP Media Center Edition. I go to
hook up my home network using a linksys 4 port router and set up the network
as i always do. However, i cannot connect to any other pc and vice versa but
i can see my workgroup in my network places. I ran the network diagnostics
utility and it says my ip address is failing for this computer. I tried
other IPs as well since i manually set my IP addresses and don't use DHCP
because i run a few game servers. Im baffled and not sure how to fix
this....i need to be able to share files! Help me please!

Thank You!

Well i ran the browstat utility you told me to run and it says that browsing
is not active in my domain and that it can't get a name from my net adapter.
First of all, im not in a domain and i only set up a workgroup. And second,
how do i turn browsing on? Thanks Chuck!

Ryan,

To browstat, a domain and a workgroup are equal - don't be confused by the fact
that browstat uses the term "domain" a lot.

The error "browsing is not active on domain" can have several causes. Please
read these 3 articles, and follow links where necessary.

If you provide "ipconfig /all" for both computers, we can try to diagnose the
problem.

Ryan,

OK. Take the following code (everything inside the "#####"). (Please verify
computer names and ip addresses). Do you have any other computers? Diagnosing
a problem like yours is easiest with the most possible test cases.

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.
