I need a networking guru here. Here is the background. I have a windows XP Home edition machine. No other workgroups than mine are visible and the computer may be only seeing itself. The computer can successfully ping network ip addresses, so I know the connection is available. What may be causing this error and what is the fix?

I dont have much experience with Home... but here goes.

I assume you have 2 Windows XP Home PC's, connected via RJ45 cables to a Network Hub, Switch, or Router.

Assuming you are using a router and not a switch, and that it is handing out DHCP ip addresses to the clients.

Make sure that you have Simple File Sharing enabled on your computers. Then share a folder, assigning any security restrictions you need.

Let me know if you have done all of that, or if the setup varies from what I listed.

Problem resolved. The issue was DNS previlages where I am trying to access. Thanks for the input.
