I have a question about Getting Network Neighborhood to recognize newly attached computers:

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.

I have the same set-up with a 95 machine and XP with a Netgear 5 port switch. The DSL modem acts as one NIC, and the other is integrated (Dell machine). The 95 machine requires a little more effort than XP to get set-up. It could be a couple of things,but I'll just point you to these 2 troubleshooters. If this doesn't do it, post back and I'll a/b the settings with you. http://www.practicallynetworked.com/support/troubleshoot_network.htm............and this one: http://www.wown.com/defaulto.htm

Try going to the XP CD look for the Valuadd folder open it then open Msft then Net, 
you will find Netbeui files in there and the instructions on how to install it on 
the XP machine this gives you compatibiliy with Win9X and Win2K all of which have 
Netbeui installed by default 
It worked for me 

Cheers

I have 2 Windows XP computers and can only ping one. But other than that, everything is the same other than i am using a Belkin gateway router and a cox cable modem instead of a hub and DSL. Any suggestions?
