Hi, I am having a similar problem with above person
between my win2k LAN and newly adding xp. I reviewed
Chuck's and his suggestion was very helpful, but not
having solved the problem yet.
What if, I can't ping myself(xp home) using both name and
ip but can ping others using ip but names, what is going
on?
3win2k LAN works fine, adding xp home, xp icon appears on
my existing workgroups in w2k workstations but not
accecible as "network path not found".
>From xp home, none of win2k can appear, even the workgroup
icon.
I set up win2k LAN by myself, so I was not expected this
was going to be taking time a lot...
Would someone help, please
