Greetings to everyone! I recently install WXPP w/ SP2 and I hav
Norton Security 2005 in addition I setup a small network consistin
of 2 Pc. The other pc is running Windows 2kP. I gave them local I
addresses and link them with a Linksys router. I'm able to access th
internet from either one, however when I try to access the workgrou
with the XPP it takes the machine a great deal of time, and sometim
it won't even access the workgroup. Any thoughts

Thanks in advance
Lefon

Lefont,

Check for unnecessary protocols and network components:

You also could have a browser problem. Run "browstat status" on both computers:

If no problem found yet, try posting "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all" from
both, and we'll try and diagnose the problem.
