Well I was more interested in what you can ping from / to the Windows XP box
but...
Are you running both Client for Microsoft Networks, and File and Printer Sharing
for Microsoft Networks, on the Windows XP box?
Please provide ipconfig information for the Windows XP, and for one other box
that can see it in "view computers near me" (ie a working box).
Start - Run - "ipconfig /all >c:\ipconfig.txt" - Open c:\ipconfig.txt in
Notepad, copy and paste into your next post.
Are the shared folders on a FAT or NTFS partition?
Check to see if Simple File Sharing (Control Panel - Folder Options - View -
Advanced settings) is enabled or disabled.
If SFS is disabled, check the Local Security Policy (Control Panel -
Administrative Tools). Under Local Policies - Security Options, look at
"Network access: Sharing and security model", and ensure it's set to "Classic -
local users authenticate as themselves".
If you set the Local Security Policy to "Guest only", make sure that the Guest
account is enabled, and has a non-blank password. If "Classic", setup and use a
common account with identical password on both computers.
Cheers,
Chuck
Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.
