Hi,
I have a home network of 4 Windows XP Home PC's simply
connected with a switch and have just got 2 laptops with
win 2000 Pro. I need to connect these laptops but when i
run the net id on 2000 the laptops can only see eachother
not the PC's and the PC's cant see the laptops. Therefore
laptops cant print on net. Am I missing something?

Workgroups are all same.
 
Make sure all computers are in the same workgroup and that all useraccounts
exist on all computers (W2K/XP's). Got File- and printersharing loaded? Is
Netbios over TCP/IP enabled (Advanced properties of TCP/IP, tab WINS)?
