Hi,

must be a quite stupid question, but I'll make it anyway,

I want to setup a network at home, I have desktop with XP and a laptop with
W2K and from Xp everything is working ok, I see W2K machine and I can browse
files/folders on W2K (if I put sharing on), but for some reason it is not
working at all from W2K ? What might be the reason, as said it seems that
everything is ok on both sides, but if I try browse network from W2K, it is
not working at all.

Help me, please.
 
Make sure all computers are in the same workgroup and that all useraccounts
exist on all computers (W2K/XP's). Got File- and printersharing loaded? Is
Netbios over TCP/IP enabled (Advanced properties of TCP/IP, tab WINS)?
