I have 5 comps, 3 running XP, one on 98 and one using ME..
internet works all around, but only one XP computer cant see or connect to the old ones, and those ones cant conenct to it either.. i dont understand why, cuz im trying to share a printer from one XP computer to the ME one and i have the old drivers installed and it shared to the other XP computers but the ME and that XP system just dont see eachother.
need major help here, i've tried everyhting i can think of, workgroup stuff, searching for each computer specificlly..
apprecaite any help here..
thx
 
Have you tried connecting to it by IP address,
Start\Run \\ipaddress\ this should show you what folders are shared, also make sure they are all configured with the same gateway and the subnet mask is correct which from your post if they all browse the web it should be configured properly.
 
have you enabled sharing on xp computers, by default you cannot access them from a network until there is some
also like user account/password on all (if workgroup) makes pass through authentication unnoticeable if going over network from one to another
also are all computers in the same subnet and have same mask?
 
Check your XP firewall settings. Running OEM XP on a laptop connecting to a variety of corporate networks. When looking for comps on the network - even if sharing is enabled all around - can't see them.

Disabled MY computer's built-in XP firewall, worked fine.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
