Title: networking issues with Win XP Home Edition
Post by: mgomez on October 25, 2004, 06:38:32 PM

I need help.  I am running a small network where some of the computers use Win 2000 Pro and some run Win XP Home Edition.  The 2000 Pro PCs work fine and they can see everyone in the net, however the Win Xp PCs can only see a limited amount to PCs on the net.  I have checked all the basics like workgroup assignments and they are all the same.  I can ping the invisible computers and they show up but when I click on workgroup computers they are not there.

XP Home does have limited networking capability,
