OS: Win XP
I have 4 computers connected via a peer-to-peer network at home. Two XP and one '98 computers are happily sharing files, and are visible in the network neighborhoud/workgroup view. The last computer simply doesn't do it.
It is set up corretly as far as I know (the setup in XP is as complex as ticking a checkbox), but it does not display the other network computers in it's workgroup view, and none of the other computers seem to be able to see it.
The PCs are connected via a linksys router, all on the same workgroup.
Any thoughts?
Incidentally, does anyone know how to password protect shared folders in XP? Considering it gives you a security warning when you share a folder, I thought this would have been a pretty basic option.
Edit: Ohps, edited the wrong thing - sorry - ingore, nothing major
