Trying to Map 2 computers. 1 wired, 1 wireless. THe wired one is running XP pro, and the wireless is XP home. I cant get the XP home PC to even ping the XP pro one. firewall on or off, and i even added the xp pro one in the hosts file. but i can map a folder on the xp home machine from the xp pro machine. Is there something i may be missing here? ---

sounds like an xp home issue with netbios… i’m guessing the home machine is the wrong node type… peer to peer node is not correct, type ipconfig /all and see… peer to peer relies on netbios … try nbtstat -c for the remote cache names i dont know… sounds like typical netbios crap, but if you can’t ping then something networking is jacked up… please tell me your pinging by ip right? otherwise it’s just because xphome relies on netbios for name translation and the wrong netwrok node type will not propagate names to a network. ---

Node type “mixed” on the XP home machine and “uknown” on the Pro… Could be wrong, I believe that you need to enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP on the XP Pro machine in Network Connections\>LAN\>TCP/IP\>Properties\>Advanced\>WINS Should fix it if I’m not mistaken. Let me know if it fixes it. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/windows-mapping-problem/194019.md?page=2)
