>>>>>>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).

>You do need to have NetBIOS over TCP/IP enabled. Probably, this is being set correctly from DHCP on your router. But, if you want to make absolutely certain you can enable it manually as described in the article.

One more thing. When I go to My Network Places on the XP machine and select Microsoft Windows Network I see an icon for the entire network and the name as I specified in the WorkGroup. But when I click on it, the other PC is not showing. Should it be listed on the MWN?
