    To Workgroups with Duplicate Computer Names

    ... and then it occurred to me. I wonder if I need to be logged off of Computer A in order to log on from Computer B? I haven't read back through all the posts to see if this was ever mentioned, but it was the solution. I know, this is obvious to most people, but it appears that I'm not most...

    To Workgroups with Duplicate Computer Names

    Looks as if this thread is a wash. I have done all that you good people suggested, but the results have always been the same; access denied. Probably for the best since windows XP doesn't work the way I imagined. What I was looking for was to have the family PC be able to access two hard...

    To Workgroups with Duplicate Computer Names

    okay, I got "workstation" and "computer browser" services back into the list of the services applet. The problem was "client for Microsoft networks" was not installed. No more for today, I'm too tired.

    To Workgroups with Duplicate Computer Names

    Having looked again into the services applet I see that workstation is also not in the list. So, I guess at the moment I need to know how to get the "workstation" and "computer browser" services into the list of the services applet.

    To Workgroups with Duplicate Computer Names

    I know how to turn on the "services.msc" applet. The problem is "Computer Browser" is not in the list of services on MSHOME/Gimp. But they are listed on MSHOME/Family.

    To Workgroups with Duplicate Computer Names

    I have been running through the troubleshooter web page suggested above and I've noticed some things I need to have clarified. One of things I was asked to check in this troubleshooter was to open up a command window and type "net view". Below is a screen capture of what followed...

    To Workgroups with Duplicate Computer Names

    I just noticed something while running the troubleshooter web page suggested above. In one of the steps it needs to know the status of the NetBIOS node type. When I type in ipconfig/all it shows that NetBIOS over TCP/IP is disabled. However, when I go to Advanced TCP/IP settings under the...

    To Workgroups with Duplicate Computer Names

    Still No Love! It's a good thing I'm bald otherwise I would have pulled all my hair out by now. The last two tips posted by bcastner have been trying with negative results. Is there anything I have missed? Is there anything I can capture and paste here for you guys? I have yet to try the...

    To Workgroups with Duplicate Computer Names

    Crud! I was so hoping that was the answer, sadly still the resource sharing happiness. :-( And this denial of resource has nothing to do with the wireless network, WEP, et al. aspect of networking?

    To Workgroups with Duplicate Computer Names

    I know that it is not NetBIOS over TCP/IP. This I know for a fact has been enabled, as this was a suggestion on another forum. If I understand Serbtastic correctly he is saying (or she) that if I am on the Family PC then I need to be logged in with the same username/password as that of the...

    To Workgroups with Duplicate Computer Names

    Okay, I have made sure that both computers are now in the same workgroup. The problem still persists. Is there anyway to delete workgroups and start from scratch? I know nothing about networking. But two workgroups just doesn't seem correct. Or maybe it does work that way; I just don't...

    To Workgroups with Duplicate Computer Names

    I believe that I'm having trouble understanding the Microsoft Windows Workgroup scheme. I have two computers connecting to a Motorola Wireless Cable Modem Gateway (SBG 900). The first computer (Gimp) is connected to the modem via ethernet cable. The second computer (Family) is connected via a...
