>>>>>>>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?

Yes, it should show up. Again, this will happen only if NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled, and there is no firewall on the W2K machine blocking access.
