I have two desktops and a laptop on my home network. One of the desktops is WIN XP, the others are WIN2K. Even tho I set up the WINXP box to get IP addresses automatically it totally ignored the address allocated by the router until I found out how to disable it (IPAutoconfigurationEnabled in the registry) and it now hooks up to the network, almost...
I can ping the other two machines from WINXP, both by IP address and by system name, but I can't get Windows Explorer to see the other machines so that I can map network drives. I can ping the WINXP machine from both of the other machines and from them I can map a network drive to the WINXP box.
Has anyone any ideas about how I have it set up?
