Network Gremlins
I am helping a friend setup a network in his business. It is a combination wired/wireless. All went well until the last computer was hooked up. It is able to surf the Internet, print to the network printer, but it cannot see the local machines on the network. I can "ping" each individual machine's IP, but I cannot find a certain machine's shared drive to map. All PC's are running Windows XP (Xtra Problems) What gives?

LOL (Xtra Problems)
I like that, that was nice. As a temporary workaround have you tried mapping to the shared drive using the ip address instead of the machine name?

Is the problem pc
using the same Workgroup name? Make sure the File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks is enabled (under the Local Area Connection Properties settings).
