Hello Guys
listen i will explain to you the situation in full details
------------------------------------
Computer 1:
Host Name: [ Shiref ]
IP: 163.100.2.6
Member in Domain: [ Domain ]
Member in Workgroup: [ Sony ]
has [File & Print Sharing], [ Client for Microsoft Network ] installed
Shares: [ Drive C ] & [ Drive D ]
------------------------------------
Computer 2:
Host Name: [ Abdel Khalek ]
IP: 163.100.2.9
Member in Domain: [ Domain ]
Member in Workgroup: [ Sony ]
has [File & Print Sharing], [ Client for Microsoft Network ] installed
Shares: [ Drive C ] & [ Drive D ] and [ My Documents ]
-----------------------------------
both of these computers can log in to any machine in the same IP range and
also can log in to the domain
but they can not communicate with eachother...

so if they need to communicate with eachother they need a bridge [ another
workstation ] between them.

that's it

Click to expand...

Since this "bridging" in Windows didn't come out until XP/2003, then how did
older machines ever run on a network? I regret they ever included such a
thing in the new OS's. All it does is cause confusion and problems,...and
people somehow think they can not get by without using it for something.

No you just need a proper physical cable layout that connects all machines
properly via a Hub or Switch. Your network Config looks fine on those
machines to me, I suspect you just don't have things "cabled up" properly.
Proper Networking begins with a solid Physical Layer, not with the Windows
OS.
