    Hi:
    2 PC (XP and 2K) connected thru LAN. XP is having one more wireless for internet. I could ping from both the PC, both are in same workgroup, no firewall. But when i search for the workgroup computer from network places, it can not find any computer. It used to work earlier.

    The networking icon do not appear as blue in 2K . It appears blue only when i ping.
    It can not receive packet when idle, but it receivs packets when pinging from other computer.

    Anybody can give me any clue??
    Than in advance..

    Amit

    What version of XP, Pro or Home?
    Anyway, you'll need to setup File & Print Sharing using passwordsn and you'll have to use Computer Management to Add each user to both computers, then configure individual shares on both.
    Read this comprehensive Microsoft DOC:
    File and Printer Sharing with Microsoft Windows
