I have networked W2000 Pro and Windows XP, but due to some problems with W2000 Pro I installed W2000 Pro over the top of the original installation. Now I can't seem to get the W2000 computer back on the LAN. I can ping from the XP machine and receive a reply, but when I ping from W2000 destination host unreachable. What have I missed?

One thing to check is XPs firewall. In Network properties there should be a tab named ADVANCED. from there you should be able to uncheck the option protect my PC... This is one thing that baffled me a few days when i couldnt see my PC in simialr situation.
