Hello everyone,

Please help me to solve this problem: I have 3 computers
connecting together using workgroup in the following
setting:


Linksys Router: with DHCP enabled, sharing connection

Computer A: Name: Main1
Workgroup: Home
User: Yeun
OS: WinXP Home

Computer B: Name: Main2
Workgroup: Home
User: Yeun2
OS: WinXP Home/Professional

Computer C: Name: Main3
Workgroup: Home
User: Yeun3
OS: WinXP Home

Computer C has no problems at all. When I turn on Computer
A first, Computer A can see A,B & C in the network
(computer A can't find the path of computer B), but
Computer B can't see any computers in network
neighborhood.
If I turn on Computer B first, then Computer B can see
A,B,C(computer B can't find the path of computer A), But
Computer A can't see any computers.

I have gone through 318030 already, and turned off
firewall as well. Is there anything else I should change n
setting? Or it's the problem of hardware...I really have
no clue what's going on, and I will deeply appreciate if
you can help me to solve this problem.

Thanks in Advance

Bernard
 
One more thing, all computers are able to ping each
other.... It just can't see each other in network
neighborhood.

Thanks

1. can you ping each other by name?

2. could be the master browser issue too.

1. They can ping each other by IP address, but can't
search by name.

2. What do you mean by master browser issue? I turned on
this service already, as it mentioned in 310830..

Thanks =)
