Non MBs can't ping each other

[Guest]

I have a network with three machines on it. A is the master browser and is
running XP pro, and B and C are both running XP Home (all are up to date).
Machine A can see B & C on network neighborhood and can ping them. B and C
can see and ping A, but they can neither see nor ping one another. BROWSTAT
VW for the transport shows that all machines recognize the browsers the same
way.

Anyone know what the problem is?


Thanks........

Steve,

Is NetBT set consistently on all computers?

Look at "browstat status", "ipconfig /all", "net config server", and "net
config workstation", from each computer, and diagnose the problem. Or post all
diagnostics here.
