Hello...Your router is probably in perfect running order. The reality of it all is
I can't see or ping the other PC on my home network. Both are on the
same workgroup. I can't even ping my own machine. Is this a problem
with my router? I want to be able to share files and folders and use
remote desktop (both are on XP Pro) but I am stopped by this problem.
Suggestions?
Thanks,
Brian
that WinXp networking doesn't work for the average home or small office
user. Even most MVPs will agree with me here.
With all the security, firewalls and anti-virus software that comes with XP
or needs to be installed to keep it functioning, the days of home or small
office networking are basically finished. Unless that is of course you have
an onsite MVP or networking professional close at hand or willing to spend
many hours trying to configure it AND keep it functioning
It's a complicated task setting up a network with XP it was much simplier
with Win2000. A good place to start if you really want to persist is

a.. April 25, 2002 - A Microsoft executive, Christopher Jones, testified
today that using a personal computer would turn into a confusing and
frustrating experience if antitrust sanctions were sought against Microsoft.
Hmmm... Isn't the PC experience already frustrating and confusing, thanks to
Microsoft?
