You need to supply a lot more information before anyone
can assist you. Some diagnostics might useful. Do this on
one of the WinXP PCs and also on the Win2000 PC:
- Click Start / Run / cmd {OK}
- Type these commands:
echo %ComputerName% > c:\test.txt {Enter}
ver >> c:\test.txt {Enter}
ipconfig /all >> c:\test.txt {Enter}
notepad c:\test.txt {Enter}

Paste the contents of these two files into your reply.

Here is a summary of your current configuration:
Name of Win2000 PC: MyPC
IP address: 192.168.1.102
Router address: 192.168.1.1
DHCP: Yes

Name of WinXP PC: Don
IP address: 192.168.1.101
Router address: 192.168.1.1
DHCP: Yes

These settings are fine. If your permission structures are satisfactory
then you will be able to share folders between the two machines,
using manual means. If you want the Win2000 PC to become
automatically visible then you must place them into the same
workgroup. The command
net config workstation
when executed from a Command Prompt will tell you the name
of your current workgroup. If they are different then you must
make them the same. Click Start / Help, then search for "Workgroup"
if unsure how to do this.
