I just tried it with the Simple File Sharing option enabled and
disabled - neither seemed to make a difference. It's still not seeing
the server.

Hi Tyler,
Please check this :
1.. Open My Computer from the Start Menu or Windows XP Desktop. A new
My
Computer window will appear.
2.. Open the Tools menu and choose the "Folder Options..." option from
this menu. A new Folder Options window will appear.
3.. Click on the View tab and locate the "Use Simple File Sharing
(Recommended)" checkbox in the list of Advanced Settings.
4.. To enable Simple File Sharing, ensure this checkbox is checked. To
disable Simple File Sharing, ensure this checkbox is not checked. Click
inside the checkbox to alternately enable and disable the option.
5.. Click OK to close the Folder Options window.

I have a network with 10 clients running XP home, and one server
running Server 2003. I'm attempting to get them to connect for Windows
file sharing, printer sharing, etc. The Server is not a Domain
Controller, Active Directory is not used at all. All of the XP home
client machines can see each other, and all of their shares are in 'My
Network Places'; however, they cannot seem to connect to the server.
The XP machines can ping the server, and Remote Desktop connects fine -
but even if I go to 'Entire Network' the Server does not show up. I can
even type in the server's IP (e.g. \\10.12.100.1) in Windows Explorer
and it won't connect. This has had me banging my head against the wall
for days - I know it's gotta be something simple.. hopefully someone
can help me out.
