Unable to see XP machine on Win2k

[SFD]

We have a small network of 3 Win2k and 2 Win XPpro computers networked using
a 10base-T hardwire connections thru a hub only.

The win2k machines can see each other and the Win XP machines can see the
Win2k, but the Win2k cannot see the Win XP machines, and the XP machines
cannot see each other.

I am new to XP and am not failure with the workings of XP, I have folders
shared on the XP machines.

The XP machines are running tcp/ip and the Win2k machines are running
tcp/ip, NetBeui, and IPX do the XP machines need to be running IPX and
NetBeui also?

Thanks for any advice.

Steve

On the WinXP PC, create local user account(s), with password(s),
that have the desired access privileges to the desired shares. Log on
to the other PCs using those account(s), and you will be able to
access the designated shares, provided your network is configured
properly. Also, make sure that WinXP's built-in firewall
is disabled on the internal LAN connection.

On the Win2K PC, create local user account(s), with password(s),

properly.

Usually, WinXP's Networking Wizard makes it simple and painless --
almost entirely automatic, in fact. There's a lot of useful,
easy-to-follow information in WinXP's Help & Support files, and here:

And no, you really needn't use more than a single protocol on all
of the machines. If you requires Internet access, TCP/IP is
necessary, so that's normally the one to use.
