Re: can't browse workgroup on Windows Server with XP Home

ok, update on the above problem.
Managed to solve it . Turned out that Windows
Firewall was turned on on the XP home machine.
Turning it off fixed it.

Except......

it should have worked in its original state since
File and Print Sharing was enabled in the exceptions
tab. Seems like there might be a problem with
Windows firewall.

Anyone had any similar experiences.
