That is all I had to do to get my computers talking,
All I can think of is that it is a security setting somewhere, have you checked your firewall settings etc.
Silly question but do you have my network places on you desktop, if you have that then you should be able to share.
until you share your files it will show the other computer but nothing else.

Just a thought xpantispy has a setting to stop computers from being seen on a network
If you got the program it will tell you if your computers are hidden, if so you can use it to unhide them. The program is a freeby
I just tested it here, while 2 of my computers couldn't see each other they could ping each other, have you tried a ping ?.

hi kinner
(dhcp) Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is an automatic way of giving IP addresses to your machines if they are using tcp/ip (a protocol) to transfer data from 1 pc to another and to connect to the internet. (sets the last 4 entries automatically in example)
the other way is to use static ip addresses where u have to type them in, although not difficult to setup yourself if the addresses or subnet mask are wrong then the machines will not see each other.
if u go to dos/cmd and type ipconfig /all u will get summat like this
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Description . . . . . . . . . . . : 3Com EtherLink XL 10/100 PCI TX NIC (3C905B-TX)
Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx
DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.60
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1
this machine is not using dhcp.
glad u sorted problem, hope this explains dhcp
