Can't see XP Computer from Win2K laptop via linksys router
Here's my setup:
I have a Linksys 802.11G wireless router & 4-port hub.
I have a WinXP Pro computer (name "Office") hardlined into the hub,
and a Win2K Pro computer (name "Laptop") hooked to the router via
wireless connection. Both computers are in Workgroup "WORKGROUP", and
the DHCP Addresses have been auto-assigned as 192.168.1.100 (XP) and
192.168.1.101 (2K) by the router.
Both computers can speak to the hub, and I have normal internet access
from both.
I can ping the Laptop (2K) from the Office (XP) by either IP Address
or name, and I can net send to the laptop via either identifier as
well. In "My Network Places" on Office, I can see the laptop and
connect to the shared drives like I would expect.
However, I can't do anything the other way. The laptop cant see,
ping, or net send the office. It does not recognize the 192.168.1.100
address either. Additionally, I can't seem to get ANYTHING to appear
in My Network Places. I go to My Network Places/Computers Near Me and
I don't get anything. The system hangs for 15 secs or so and then I
get the following error: "Workgroup is not accessible. The Network
path was not found".
I know I'm missing something stupid. Please help!
