I have a HP desktop running Windows XP Home and a Laptop
running Windows 2000 Professional. I am trying to set up
a microsoft network using my Linksys router (BEFW11S4). I
can not get either computer to recognize the other. They
appear in my work group, but in both cases, I get a
network reource undavailable error when I try to access
the other. I can actually connect directly using the IP
address(es), but this is causing me great grief!!!!!
What am I doing wrong?????
Please help!!!!
Jim
 
Did enabling Nebios over TCP/IP in the Network Adapter Properties resolve this issue? If not please reply and include an IPconfig /all from the command
prompt.

Clark,

Thanks. I doubled checked both computers had NetBIOS over
TCP/IP enabled. It did not appear to help. The way I got
things working was to make a hosts table. This seems to
work, but I'm not very happy with this solution since I
will eventually have to set my IP addresses to static. If
you would, please take a look at my IP config and let me
know if you see a problem and how to resolve it?

Regards,

Jim
