>>>>I have two computers connected to the same Linksys router. When I run IPCONFIG on one I see IP address 192.168.2.100, the other one is 192.168.2.101. In the My Computer -> System Properties both computers have the same name in Workgoup "MYCOMPANY". One computer is XP and another Win2000. How do I access shared drives from one computer (XP) on the other computer (Win2000)?

Quick question, if I may. In one of the articles that Tracy suggested, they point to setting property of TCP/IP -->Advances -> WINS tab to Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP. On my Win 2000 the currently selected option is Use NetBIOS setting from the DHCP server. Do you think this makes a difference? (this stuff is way over my head).
