Hi,
I'm sorry to say that I have a similar problem, so my reply will probably not be
of much help. But anyway:
We have two PC's
XP
Me w/printer
(and soon a laptop XP wich will probably have a wireless connection)
They are connected to the internet (ADSL) via a NAT router. Both can connect to internet
at the same time without any problem. But on the LAN they are invisible to each other.
Some say that the router is the problem, but I don't think so, because it should
work as a switch w/o any restrictions.
I've looked through the information on this site (and others) and it seems like the
different security functions in the O/S is the problem (most common tip). But(!),
I have followed every recomendation and tip regarding usernames, accounts etc., but
it does not help... (Maybe I should switch to XP on all PCs???)
