OK guys, maybe you can give me some ideas here...
I have 3 PC's on a Workgroup running through a D-Link ADSL router.
All are named to their owners, and are on the same workgroup. They can see each other.
There is:
Old Dell PII450 with Win2k
Athlon 1.4 with WinXP Home
PIII Laptop with XP Home
The Dell and Laptop both work fine on the network, have the internet through the router, can share to the network and see others shares.
The Athlon is a different story. It can see other people, and view their shares. Viewing itself, you can see its shares. They just can't be accessed by the others. You cannot browse the PC at all.
Also, after a little while, the Athlon 'loses' the network. The internet still works, but it cannot see the other PC's (even mapped drives). The other 2 machines can function fine during this time. The only solution is to restart.
Is this a config error, or a hardware fault? Also, why drop the network, but still access to the internet?
Any pointers?
Cheers guys!
