I recently purchase a new XP system and had two NIC cards installed. I have one NIC attached to my Cable modem and the second one attached to a 4-port Netgear hub which is then connected to an IBM Thinkpad running Windows 95. I have been able to get internet and email to work on both machines and I am able to ping the XP machine by name and by IP from the 95 machine. However, I am unable to ping the 95 machine by name from the XP machine. Furthermore, I cannot get the 95 machine to find the server in Network Neighborhood (which means I cannot get print sharing or file sharing to work). At this point, I know the network connection is good. I've set the default gateway on the 95 machine to the IP address of the first machine. I've made sure both machines are referencing the correct workgroup and that NT logon has been unchecked (so only windows logon remains. I've set up a user account on my XP machine for the 95 machine to log into. Any ideas? At one point, I did have the XP machine showing up in Network Neighborhood but even then, I wasn't able to print share and when I clicked on the computer name, it said no matching network machine found.
