XP Pro/ XP HOme network prob 1

[jhowley58]

Hi,

I've got an XPPro Desktop (called 'xppro') and an XPHome Desktop (called 'xphome') in a workgroup called 'HOME'.

I can ping successfully between the two machines. I can share files between them.

However, when I look at the local workgroup in xppro I find just that machine listed; When I look in workgroup on xphome I find the xppro machine listed there. So both machines show the same lone machine in the workgroup and that machine is the one with the XPPro OS.

Any Ideas?

Thanks,

John.
