Networking, but can only access via IP addressI have 3 machines running XP Home, which I've networked. They can
access each other, but only via IP address, not machine name. Also, this is rather slow. Does anyone know the fix for this, or what I've missed out on configuring? Thanks, P.

Any idea why this property is missing by default? to be chosen. So either "B" or "H" is chosen for you, depending upon whether you have a WINS server. In most cases, either should work.

Thanks for the feedback. -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.
