After installing sp1 my network either functions ok,or my 2 comps cant see each other at all, or it takes a few minutes to find each other, or just trying to map a drive on xp causes a crash. Before sp1,everything is very fast and works great.It took a couple rounds of reformatting,tweaking,pulling my friggin hair out, and trying every option on every forum ive seen,or any faq on "WIN XP NETWORKING", to figure out the problem is sp1! My specs are below and keep in mind it is not a hardware problem because this configuration works with any other combination of os. Ive also tried screwing with the services on the xp box, but no help.Everything is fine until sp1,even with all the same settings
Ok heres my setup-
Computer #1
XP Home ED OEM(LEGAL and Activated)
linksys nic-192.168.0.2 static-255.255.255.0
file sharing activated-netbios activated-Client for microsoft activated
gateway is 192.168.0.1(for the router)
Router- Netgear 114 running off ATT cable(192.168.0.1)
Computer #2
Windows 2000 Pro
linksys nic-192.168.0.3-static-255.255.255.0
file sharing activated-netbios activated-Client for microsoft activated
gateway is 192.168.0.1(for the router)
Both computers have an identical user/password account setup
Both are on the same workgroup
Both have new shares set up for sharing drives
XP firewall is disabled
Everything works until sp1,,,thanks Microsoft
