Rickman, I feel your pain. I'm having the same problem
with 12 systems running XPpro. They can't see one another
or ping one anouther. I've tried changing the switch,
removing XP's firewall, everything I could think of. I've
been working on this problem for three days. For the love
of god, someone please help!

I have exactly the same Problem,
Running XP pro on 4 Systems and none of the computers see eachother
i am trying to set up file sharing etc. but only get Internet Sharing.
I am in Admin mode, have tried just about everything other than server
2003. i cant even set permissions in shares as microsoft describe in
the support pages. I think you guys know where i am comming from. Need
help Urgently :-) i have been on and off the case for months, the
whole aspect of networkiong is lost if you cant share files!!
Anyway over to You.

Followup. Guys the problem was so simple it passed me.
Check Firewall Programs to enable your IP Range as Trusted Zones
on Home networking. ie 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.200
Do same on all PC's Hope that helps
