Networking Windows 2000 to XP

[tgilge87]

I've already set up a network fine between 2 pc's running windows 2000,
but now a friend wants me to set up one from Win. 2000 to an XP
machine. There are 2 pc's connected directly to the router. I have
the router connected, and both pc's can share the DSL connection fine.
The problem comes when I try to share files/printer between them. I
ran the network wizard on the XP machine, but am stumped as to what to
do on the 2000 machine. I go to see if I can communicate between the 2
pc's, but they can't see each other on the network. Please help, I'm
kind of a noobie at this stuff, so any suggestions are welcome.

Hi

Try to configure the Sharing Manually, in each computer.

Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings,

As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what is allowed
to be shared.
