I have 2 computers on a network that I have been trying to enable to see each
other.
First computer: ROBERT
Second computer: BOBX2
If I go to ROBERT, I can ping BOBX2 by IP address, but not by name. If I go
to BOBX2, I can ping ROBERT, again by IP address, but not name.
If I go to a command line, NET VIEW only shows the shares on the current
computer.
On both computers I have selected enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP.
net config server on either workstation shows that they are NOT hidden.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
