Hi Folks,
I have a friend with a really strange problem and I am throwing up my hands. I'd be greatful for any suggestions. He has and XP pro machine and a 98 machine on a LAN sharing a DSL connection on a Netgear router using DHCP. All is fine and he can share files between them. He recently added an XP home machine that can access the internet, get an IP from the router, BUT can't see the other machines. I have disabled the XP firewalla, checked the cables, network settings, and router. And even , more unusual is that the new XP home machine can ping the 98 box but the 98 box cannot ping the XP home machine. The XP pro and 98 machine still function normally and don't seem to be affected by the XP home pc.
I'm going to have a Beer and think about this one.
Thanks for any sugestions,
-Beer
