I have a workgroup with 4 PC's. 2 are W2k Pro. 2 are WXP
Pro. All machines connect to and share printers and
folders from 1 XP Pro machine. All machines are in the
same workgroup.

2 days ago, 1 of the W2k Pro machines stopped connecting
to any of the shares. I checked the setup and Netbios was
enabled. TCP/IP was installed. File and printer sharing,
installed. I can share folders on the W2k pc.

I cannot browse any other PC in the workgroup. Neither can
any of the other Pc's browse to the W2k. All 3 of the
other PC's can browse each other.

I am able to attach to shares using the IP address instead
of the Name.

What could be the problem and does anyone have a solution?
 
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)?
