I am new to XP Pro and cannot get my network to setup
porperly. I have 2 computers running XP Pro through a
router, and they cannot see each other. They can both surf
the internet, but will not access each other.
I have run the Wizard but it is not fixed. Any Ideas??

Thanks for the help.
 
Check your IP address on both machines and
their "workgroup" name. Make sure the workgroup name is
the same on both and that the IP addresses are within the
same range. If your router is set up for DHCP you may want
to try disabling it and assigning static IPs to each
computer. Another thing to try is to do a search for
computers and specify the name of the other system.
Hope that helps :-)
 
Make sure both PCs are in the same workgroup. Also ensure the Windows XP
Internet Connection Firewall is disabled.
