Windows 2000 Server, 3 XP Pro SP2, 1 Windows 2000 Professional SP4,
Linksys wireless router.

Here is my problem: There is a printer that needs to be shared on one
of the XP machines, but I can't get the 3 XP machines to see eachother
on the LAN. From the server and from the 2000 machine, I can share
files and printers from the XP's. I can ping and tracert to them also.

But when I'm at any one of the XP machines, I can't see or ping the
other XP machines. When I ping, it seems to resolve the address, but
then it times out. I've turned off the firewalls on each and turned
off the firewall on the router also, I've re-installed the NICs. They
are all on the same subnet (255.255.255.0) with DHCP enabled from the
server. I even changed the addresses to static with no luck.

The confusing part is that I can see and ping them from the server and
from the 2000 machine. They were all scanned for viruses and
spyware/adware. The anti-virus is AVG. I even disabled that with no
luck. Any help would be appreciated.
