I am fed up windows 2000 p2p networking there is always a problem to see other computers in same LAN. first few days no problem.Firewall I got but set it exactly right. No complain on frewall.
Though i can ping all the computer and even access the mapped drives made on each computer. Icannot see the computers around me on the NETWORK NEIGHBOOURHOOD . ANY suggestion pls?
Does installing any software do this?
Im not sure that i fully understand your question. Please restate it more clearly.
It sounds like when he opens Network Neighbourhood he cannot see any computers. Have you tried this without the firewall?
Thread moved to Operating Systems.
Yes I did, it didn't work
Have you tried uninstalling the firewall - rebooting - and then checking Network Neighbourhood? Sometimes it will not automatically get it.Quote:
BTW: Does your IP start with 169....?
Start - Run - Type "cmd" - then type "ipconfig /all"
I always have this problem on my home network.. I gave up, and use the FTP from IIS and only turn it on when I need to copy something from one to the other...
I have similar problem ..
* my desktop PC ( win XP ) second ethernet card manually set to 192.0.72.1
* my laptop ( win 2K ) ethernet port manually set to 192.0.72.2
* connected the two with cross cable
* is able to PING in both direction ( network status shows RECEIVE on one, when PING from the other one).
BUT... it failed when i try to run \\192.0.72.1\c$ or \\192.0.72.2\c$, and it used to work, and notw it doesnt !! any ideas ??
