Eric said:Ensure that all firewalls are disabled or removed. Make
sure the XP built-in firewall is disabled. It is only for
direct connections to the Internet and must be disabled
on local area networks.
Make sure each machine are on the same subnet mask. If
the subnet mask is different, the computer is effectively
located on a different network. Click Start, Run and
type "cmd" (without quotes) and press ENTER. Type
ipconfig or ipconfig/all. Make sure it is something like
255.255.255.0.
If the subnet mask is different, type ipconfig/release
then type ipconfig/renew if DHCP is present. Otherwise,
you'll need to configure the subnet mask manually.
Also, make sure NetBIOS over TCP/IP are enabled on all
machines. Details here.
