If you would do START RUN CMD OKAY
ipconfig /all<CR>

for the two configurations that you have described, then
post the output in the newsgroup it would be easier to
assist.

Thanks for the quick response. Here are each of the
settings. The fixed IP machines are at 192.168.1.xx and
the dynamically assigned are on 192.168.0.xx.

This setting lets the XP machine see the other
workstations -

The difference is that, with fixed IPs, you are in one IP
subnet; with dynamic IPs, you are in a different subnet.
I think you should change the fixed IPs to be in the same
subnet as the dynamic IPs.

A simpler workaround that may work is to change the subnet
masks for all nodes from 255.255.255.0 to 255.255.0.0; that
way everybody should be in the same subnet. {Having not
tried this myself, I have some reservations about whether or
not the WinDuhs network stacks will work with this mask --
it should, but stranger things have happened with M$.}
