comps can't see each other?

Ahoyhoy · Post by **Ahoyhoy** » Thu Jul 11, 2002 2:54 am

I've got 3 comps running Win 98 and one running XP. They are all connected to a Linksys 4 port router. All comps have access to the internet, however none of the comps are able to see each other on the network? Everything was working fine about 3 weeks earlier until something probably got unintentionally changed. TCP/IP is the only protocol running for all comps, all under the same workgroup name. Any ideas? Thanks!

workgroup won't matter for tcp/ip, only for netbeui.

Is file and print sharing bound to tcp/ip on all machines?

IS something actually shared out on the machine you are trying to connect to?

Is there a common account/user for all three machines?

Are you using DHCP or manually assigning IP addresses?

Can you ping any of the other hosts?

Are you running firewalls on each machine?
