Network Neighborhood in Win2kPro

[Shnak]

Hi

I have a small LAN at my home of three PC. When I was running Win98SE, I could see the two other PC in the network neighborhood. Since I installed Win2kPro, I only see myself... same workgroup....

I think the other two PCs run Win98 or Win98SE... not sure

What could cause this?

Thanks

If I remember correctly, you will want to select "NetBios" on TCPIP for all your machines. You may also need to install the "file and print sharing" service on your machines.

So you mean that I'll only see the computers on the LAN that have NetBIOS installed?

Alright, I will try that...

Thanks!

Later,

You need "File & Printsharing" service. You need to bind it to TCPIP. When I said NetBIOS, I meant NetBEUI which is on a tab in the TCPIP properties. It gets set when you do the bind for "File & Printsharing" to TCP/IP.

Without them showing up in NN, you should be able to ping them. If they respond then it is just that you are missing "File & Print" otherwise it is a different problem.

Sorry for not being too accurate. I am not @ home so I cannot see how I have things set up. I am running W2KPro, W2KServer, NT4.0 Server & W98SE. They all see each other.

Actually, no. NetBEUI is a network protocol. You would install that as you would IPX or TCP/IP.
Shnak. You dont need NetBEUI although it wont hurt you. File and Printer sharing is installed as a service by default on Win2k so you dont have to worry about that either. Is the workgroup the same. Can you use the Find Computer option to find the other PC's?
