VDPD2005 Posted October 9, 2004 Posted October 9, 2004 I had a network that was running fine... then all of a sudden they stop seeing eachother. They're both connected to a router and can both access the internet. They both have norton running on them, but I set the firewall to trust the IP address of the other computer. So now when ever I go to "My Network Places" on either computer nothing but that computers shared folders show up, not the other computers files. Can anybody help please?

Nerm Posted October 9, 2004 Posted October 9, 2004 what OS's are running on each computer? Have you installed any new programs recently or uninstalled any? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron Posted October 9, 2004 Posted October 9, 2004 Are all of the computers connected to the same "workgroup" That could be the problem if its winxp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VDPD2005 Posted October 9, 2004 Posted October 9, 2004 (edited) One is XP Pro, the other XP Home. As for any programs installed. I installed Bittorent around the time this happened. Also I tried to install drivers for my MP3 player, but it had problems installing. Don't think that could have caused it though. And as for uninstalled programs, I don't know. If I have they weren't big programs but probably small ones I've downloaded. And yes they're all on the same workgroup "Home," I always just took off the "MS" when running the set up a home netowrk wizard.

VDPD2005 Posted October 9, 2004 Posted October 9, 2004 I have installed SP2 on both computers, however this was after the problem already started. I have also run the network setup wizard on both computers to no avail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy Posted October 10, 2004 Posted October 10, 2004 (edited) Are all of the computers connected to the same "workgroup" That could be the problem if its winxp. did you read this guys post? This might be the problem. or maybe you should check to see if both of you are running static or dynamic ips?

Capslock118 Posted October 10, 2004 Posted October 10, 2004 well....you said you set your firwalls to except the IPs.....are your IPs static? or assigned by the routers DHCP???? if its assigned IPs that would prolly def. be the problem....IPs could have changed and your firewall is accepting IPs to walk in and out....but there are no computers under that IP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
