Hi,

I setup a WorkGroup for 3 computers... All computers use the same
workgroup but on one computer there is no way to browse the network
and access to the two other computer

The config is WindowsXP Home with all the updates. I use the same
username/password and workgroup on all computers. The computer can
connect to the internet just like the other computer throug the
router. The network connection is a wireless connection. All
firewall disabled

Symptom : When I try to browse the network or access to other computer
with \\OtherComputerName it return an error

- The difference when doing ipconfig /all is :
Node Type = Unknown
NetBios over TCPIP = Desactivated
- Ping other computer name is not working BUT I CAN ping IP adress
(ex: 192.168.2.45)
- NetBios is activated in the network connection (properties->TCPIP-
Properties->Advanced->Wins)
Click to expand...
- The user is administrator on the computer
- Suppose to be XP Home with default parameters...


I really need help...i'm trying to fix this since month (dont know how
many hours I lost on this)

Thanks

You'll need netbios over tcp/ip activated. That is the protocol used to
resolve computernames to ip addresses and used by the network browser.
