Cant see Master on networkIm sure the answer to this is in the NG somplace but I cant find it.
I had to reinstall XP pro on my Master (office)computer. Im using a Lynksys Router. I can see my laptop, the wife's computer and my media computer from the master, I can see all the other computers from each of the computers but I cant see my master from any of them. The master does not show up in the work group computers. I dont know how to add it. When I click on sharing it wont let me check anything. When I re installed XP I used the same work group. Can someone tell me how to get this computer on the network? I have tried and cant. Thanks Hi
Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings, http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what is allowed to be shared. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;304040 Jack (MVP-Networking).
