    not seeing computers

    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?

    It sounds like when he opens Network Neighbourhood he cannot see any computers. Have you tried this without the firewall?

    Have you tried uninstalling the firewall - rebooting - and then checking Network Neighbourhood? Sometimes it will not automatically get it.

    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...

    * my laptop ( win 2K ) ethernet port manually set to 192.0.72.2
    * connected the two with cross cable
