Strange XP Networking Problem


Recommended Posts

Posted

My desktop XP Pro machine is connected to the internet wirelessly

(Netgear WG111v2) via my Linksys router. It is getting an IP through

DHCP. I have another laptop XP Pro machine connected to the internet

directly to the Linksys router via DHCP. Both can access the

internet.

 

Strangely, my laptop can ping my desktop. But my desktop cannot ping

my laptop, or any other device on the router (I have another older

machine on it).

 

I would appreciate any help.

I should also add that I created a workgroup called "HOME" and both XP

Pro machines have joined that workgroup.

Try in the networking group:

microsoft.public.windowsxp.network_web

Microsoft encourage Internet connection sharing, is this your problem?

RE: Strange XP Networking Problem

 

Hi,

 

I think the problem lies in the node type.. If you notice the Desktop has a

node type as unknown and laptop has node type as broadcast. I have included

an article to make the node to broadcast on the desktop, please check.

Thank you
