>>>>>>>>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)?

Yes, exactly. And I tried to use D and D$ with the same result (network path not found).
