So I turned off the browser on my win2k box, rebooted both machines and hey presto, both machines can see each other again.I have a winxp box and win2k box both connected to a new Netgear DG834G wired router.
My printer is connected to a USB port? on the winxp box.
Windows 2000 can see Winxp in My Network places, and with winxp's firewall enabled, cannot see the printer. So I disable the firewall and printer is found ok.
What do or can I do to put this right: change a setting in the router, or install a different firewall?
Also, and this is maybe unrelated, Winxp cannot see either itself or win2k.
Thanks
Update here:
The printer problem was down to a seting I had in windows firewall, using gpedit.msc. I changed that particular setting to reflect the new IP address and it works ok now.
I still don't know why WinXP can't see either itself nor win2k in My Network places.
