[luau] OT: windows 2000 networking

[Brian Low]

For Networking Windows machines, that are on the same subnet, check to
see if the workgroup names are the same.  You can find this out by going
into you system properties and going into the network identification
tab.  Here it will show you the name of the workgroups.

Subject: [luau] OT: windows 2000 networking


I have two machines running windows 2000 and I am having problems
getting the
two machines to see each other. Hopefully someone can enlighten me on my
problem.


Both machines are connected to a router, which is then hooked up to my
cable
modem. The router assigns IP's to the machines via DHCP, and the gateway
set
on both machines are identical, as well as the workgroup. Both machines
can
browse the internet, but cannot "see" each other on the network. This
same configuration
works fine when both machines run windows 98. Does windows 2000 handle
netowrking
differntly? Am I missing something here?

Thanks,
Rodney
