XP Home and 2K Pro in same workgroup not seeing each other.

[Jim D]

3 computers:

Computer One
Windows 2000 Pro

Computer Two
Windows 2000 Pro

Computer Three
Windows XP Home

All three computers get IP addresses via DHCP from a Linksys router. All
computers have functional TCP/IP.

All three computers are part of the same Windows workgroup. Computer One(a
fresh install of W2K Pro) can see Computer Two(an older install of W2K Pro)
and Computer Three via Windows networking. Computer Two can only see
Computer One. Computer Three, the newest addition to the network, can only
see Computer One.

Any ideas on getting Two and Three to see each other would be greatly
appreciated.

it may be as simple as rebooting the machines... to me it
seems like a Browse Master conflict. Bringing these
machines up in the right sequence once may settle it. I'd
start by booting the "most powerful" (hardware / software
wise) machine first, and work down to the oldest. Give
them upto 2 minutes in between boot ups to argue over
who's bigger and badder and should host the browse list.
