[Guest]

I have three PCs ,two PCs has Windows XP Pro and one is MAC.I have shared
internet connection via Windows XP pro and internet is working fine in client
computer(other WindowsXP).
But my problem is ,client computer not shown in workgroup.
I have to search that computer via ip address i-e "search for computers"
Via ip address search ,i have found that computer i have seen that its
computer location is in Workgroup.I have no firewalls just enable "internet
connection firewall" and using Windows XP sp2.

Are both computers in the same workgroup?

Check both for misconfigured / overlooked firewalls, and for the
restrictanonymous setting.
Misconfigured / overlooked firewalls:

Registry setting restrictanonymous:

If no help, provide "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all" from each computer,
and we'll diagnose the problem. Read this article, and linked articles, and
follow instructions precisely:

I haven;t enabled any firewall including ICF on client PCs means no firewall.
Yes they are on the same group "Workgroup"
