I'm attempting to set up a new Windows network with two computers, one a
Win2000Pro and the other an XP Home machine. After following all the
documenation and the running the appropriate wizards, neither machine can see
the other. I've tried to follow all the other posts and do my homework. Still
need help! Appreciate it!
Each box can ping the others IP address through my Linksys router (I'm using
a broadband cable modem direct connected to the router for internet access).
The XP machine can ping the machine name of the 2000 box (3927-zzpf2orpl2)
but the 2000 box couldn't ping the XP box. I added the XP machine to the
hosts file on the 2000 box, and now they can both ping each other, IP
address AND machine name. That might be a clue to my problem, I don't know...
Both use the MSHOME workgroup name.
I'm running both Client for Microsoft Networks, and File and Printer Sharing
for Microsoft Networks on each computer, with shares setup on each.
I'm running NetBIOS Over TCP/IP (Local Area Connection - Properties - TCP/IP
- Properties - Advanced - WINS) on each computer.
XP HOme is SP2, firewall has exception checked for File/Print sharing. No
firewall on the 2000 box.
When I attempt to "Find" the 2000 box from the XP box, using either IP or
name for the 2000 machine, it fails to connect.
I've run net user guest /active:yes on each machine and rebooted, to no avail.
Running
-net view \\3927-zzpf2orpl2
results in this:
-System error 53 has occurred.
-The network path was not found.
and vice versa from 2000 to XP.
Computer Browsers and TCP/IP NetBIOS Helpers services are running on both.
I've waited many minutes to let browsers catch up.
Here's IPCONFIG output for both boxes:
