>Good day everyone!
>Our office recently got a new computer with Windows XP Pro and there is a printer that is connected to a local machine and the printer is shared. All the computers on the network are on the same workgroup and some they all run off of Novell Network and Microsoft Windows Network. On all the other machines running Windows 95, 98, Me or NT I can see all the computers under the workgroup in the network neighborhood. However on the Windows XP Pro machine I can only see a few (but but not all) of the computers under the workgroup on the network. Is there a protocol or client that I need to install to show all the computers? Do I need Netware Print services or LanMan Print services and where would I get it for Windows XP Pro? I can't even map a drive to the shared folder on the computer that has the printer attached.

Have you installed Client Services for Netware (Client), NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBios compitible transport protocol (Protocol)? If not - install them. They are located in Control Panel/Network and Dial-up connections/My connection-Properties-Add.

Replace My Connection with the name of your local network connection name.
