Everyone is stumped!! Situation: Linksys Router BEFSR41 with 3 computers, xp,win 98 and win 2000. All computers in same workgroup with unique computer names, assigned Ip addresses by DHCP on router. All computers can access internet and see each other. BUT XP COMPUTER CAN ONLY SEE ITSELF AND IS UNSEEN BY OTHER COMPUTERS EVEN THOUGH IT CAN ACCESS INTERNET.
Brought laptop and plugged it in where xp is located and no problems.
So the problem is with the XP Computer.
Here are results of ipconfig/all for XP computer:The only thing different when I run ipconfig/all on the other computers is the Node Type which on the other two reads Broadcast and the Ip addresses.
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
