I have 2 XP Pro machines connected via a Belkin router. They can both access

Machine A cannot see anything in network neigborhood (get an error message).
Machine A will fail a ping test on itself. Interestingly, it will be able to
connect to Machine B via Net Use command if I use Machine B ip address (not

Machine B, eventhough can see Machine A and B in Net View, won't be able to
connect to Machine A, even using the IP address.

I've been doing everything I read on the web, removed firewall, check for
the browser function (on/off, etc.), made sure Netbios for tcp/ip is on, etc.

Help... anyone ?

Gerard,

An interesting set of symptoms. One of the most common causes of this problem
would be a misconfigured or overlooked personal firewall, or other security
component. There are several other possibilities too, and any might be the cause
of your problem. Read this article with an open mind.
<http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/10/irregularities-in-workgroup-visibility.html>
http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/10/irregularities-in-workgroup-visibility.html

Let's look at "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all" from each computer, so we
can diagnose the problem. Read this article, and linked articles, and follow
instructions precisely (download browstat!):

http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/troubleshooting-network-neighborhood.html#AskingForHelp

Here are the status files:

<SNIP>

Gerard,

Mostly clean diagnosis.
# Physical setup is OK - both computers on the same subnet, DHCP from the same
server.
# Both computers stated to be in same workgroup, Redmond.
# Neither computer seeing server datagrams. Laptop has elected itself master
browser, yet sees only itself ("There are 1 servers...").

Here's one issue:
# Zycki is using an nVidia nForce networking controller. Did you get a User's
Guide with it? Do you know what model nForce it is?

http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/02/hidden-personal-firewall-nvidia-nforce.html

Other thoughts:
# When you "made sure Netbios for tcp/ip is on", do you mean "Enabled", or
"Default"?
# What antivirus are you using on each computer?
# Have you checked anonymous access restriction, and hidden, settings?
<http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/10/irregularities-in-workgroup-visibility.html>
http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/10/irregularities-in-workgroup-visibility.html

There was a hw firewall in the nvidia card and I disabled it, but no luck.
I also check for anonymous access restriction, no issue there.
Netbios on, means enabled (not default).
I use Norton 06, but right now I removed all of this on the desktop (that
seems to be the pb computer).

What puzzles me is that a ping on itself will fail ???

btw, if any help I have installed a test utility called Essential Net Tools
if it can help debug the problem.

Gerard,

Please read my tutorial on solving network problems.
<http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/08/solving-network-problems-tutorial.html>
http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/08/solving-network-problems-tutorial.html

Let's enumerate your problems. Take the following code (everything INSIDE the
"#####" lines). Please DO NOT include ANY portion of the "#####" lines. (Please
verify computer names and ip addresses).

1. Open Notepad. Ensure that Format - Word Wrap is not checked. Highlight
then Copy the code (Ctrl-C), precisely as it is presented, and Paste (Ctrl-V)
into Notepad. Verify, and correct, names and addresses if necessary.
2. Save the Notepad file as "cdiag.cmd", as type "All Files", into the root
folder "C:\".
3. Run it by Start - Run - "c:\cdiag".
4. Wait patiently.
5. When Notepad opens up displaying c:\cdiag.txt, first check Format and
ensure that Word Wrap is NOT checked! Then, copy the entire contents (Ctrl-A
Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V) into your next post.

Do this from all computers, please, with all computers powered up and online.
