This has been maddening. I made a server with a fresh install of XP SP2.
Here's what I have:
A 2Wire integrated DSL Modem/Router
With 3 of my computers plugged into it.
On the 4th port I'm connected to my D-Link 50 Port Switch.
In that switch, I have several Xboxes, the server, and another computer IDENTICAL to the server with the same clean install of XP SP2 on it.
So, every computer/xbox on the network can happily see each other and share files and browse the internet EXCEPT the one freakin' computer I want to share files from!
I disable windows firewall, have no antivirus, have File and Printer sharing turned on, and folders shared. The server can browse other computers and the internet. But other computers can't see me. We're all on the same workgroup appropriately named "workgroup"
I'll cut to the chase and answer the usual questions... All the typical services "Computer Browser Automatic", "Network Awareness" and all that are started.
Nbstat -n doesn't appear to work for me but my ipconfig /all shows this
