Re: XP Pro to Win2K ok but Win2K to XP, *not* ok

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hello matt8500@xxxxxxxxx,

Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP on both machines
network properties>TCP/IP>advanced>WINS>enable netbios over TCP

Make sure on every machine is the same user account and password and they are both in the same workgroup.

Best regards

Please help:

Both are in the same home network called 'mshome'
Both can ping each other
I can transfer files from WinXP but I can't see the XP machine from
Win2k
WinXP Pro firewall is off.
Other WinXP Pro boxes can connect and transfer files to the WinXP Pro.
The appropriate network shares are enabled.
I'm logged on as the same user in both boxes
Both have dhcp enabled.
On the W2k SP4 box, I've re-install tcpip but still no cigar.

Why can't I see or connect to the WinXP boxes from this W2k box?
Upgrading this particular box is not an option. Thanks in advance.
