Can't see computers on network

[camaro]

I have a D-Link switch/router connecting my 2 PCs to the net. But the PCs can't see themselves. There is Sygate firewall setup on both PCs if that makes any difference. Both are running win2k SP4.

When I click on "computers near me" I get this message.

Workgroup is not accesible. The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available.

they must be on the same workgroup to see themselves.

and also sygate firewall might be bloking netbios.

PC 1 gives the above message. It won't even see itself.

PC 2 shows itself on the network, but not PC1.

How do I put them on the same workgroup?

[Droppyale]

right click on your "my computer" icon on your desktop, properties,

go under computer name or network name...

you should be able ot change it there.

I would completely disable the firewall until I got the network going. Then enable the firewall.

That was a good idea. Now I can see them both from both PCs, but when I click on them all I see is Printers and Scheduled Tasks. For some reason I can't see the HDs. I do have sharing allowed on both.

I got it. I forgot you have to share each folder.
