[luau] OT: windows 2000 networking

[Todd Lee]

Can you ping between machines?  Or do you mean you can't see them in the
'Network Neighborhood'?  Check out each system's IP and try pinging if you
haven't yet.  Just type in 'ipconfig /all' at the cmd line to view the IP.
If you can do that and hit each other then it definitely may be what Warren
suggests!  You can also try 'net view' at the cmd line and see what that
brings up.

Hope that helps
-Todd

Check that "NETBIOS over TCP/IP" is enabled, and you have "File and Print
Sharing" and "Client for Microsoft Networks" attached to the network
interfaces.  I think that's all that is needed.
