Networking two Windows XP and one 2000 computers

by maratz . Updated 21 years, 6 months ago

I attempted to set up one XP computer (running XP Pro) as a file server for two (XP Pro and 2000) computers. On Win 2000 PC I am unable to see computers and shares in My Network Places. I get “browser elections” error messages on both the XP Pro and 2000 PCs. Also, is it possible to NOT use NetBIOS for file sharing altogether since these are not ‘legacy’ OSs?

Help appreciated
