3 WinXP Home Machines, only 2 will share / are visible..

Hi,
I've 3 systems behind a Linksys 802.11b router.. two (Laptop and Upstairs) are connected via the 802.11 the third (Downstairs) is plugged into the back of the router.

All 3 can surf the net no problems. I enabled sharing on each of their "Shared Documents" folders, to make tossing files around easy, and still maintaining some security if the Laptop ended up on a network in an airport while on the road etc.

I have triple and quadruple checked that all are on the same Workgroup, XP's firewall is turned off on all three. Client for MS Networks and File & Print sharing are enabled on all. Yet if I try and view all computers in my workgroup, Downstairs never shows on the other two systems, and the other two never show on Downstairs. I can ping them, so connectivity is there..

.. just to further clarify, the Shared Docs folders that I shared arent visible from the machines that can't see each other.
And I figured out that regardless of visibility, you've gotta have the stupid Guest account activated to access a shared dir. Dumbest feature Ive seen yet.


Any and all suggestions greatly appreciated..

Is NetBIOS enabled on all the connections?

Yes, Netbios over TCP/IP is enabled on all connections. Though I was under the impression that was just for backwards compatibility with older Win's..

Try on all the computers using accounts with exactly the same username/password.

So were you able to fix it? I've got the exact same problem, 3pc's w/ one of them not seeing or visable in the network... everything i've checked seems good.

If you were able to fix it, please share the solution.

All comps have guest user enabled, no password, same username logged in on all machines. going over there again tonite, will try pinging the machines from each other, see what I get ..
