I am trying to have two machines running XP Pro connect to share their files through a hub. Both machines have successfully accessed a larger LAN in the past, but for some reason they refuse to cooperate now...
Both machines can ping themselves, as well as the other machine.
Both machines use a manually set IP address and use the same subnet mask
Both machines are in the same work group, and can see each other. But they can't connect to each other.
None of the machines have enabled XP's firewall.
One machine can be booted into Win98, from which it is possible to successfully send a WinPopUp message to the WinXP client. Apart from that, Win98 behaves exactly as XP.
Any ideas of how this problem can be solved?
