Are you using simple file sharing? (All computers should have the same setting for this)

I personally turn simple filesharing off but you need to have passwords for all the accounts you're trying to access or windows will block them.

Did someone figure out hw to disable SFS in any other version other than XP Pro? From what I recall, the work arounds and hacks I've seen only gives access to the Admin panel, but doesn't actually disable SFS.

1. Run "msconfig" and make note of every line's status in both the 'services' and 'startup' tabs as to whether they're set to run or not. Then turn them all on and reboot and see if that fixes it. Make sure you note which ones were on/off so you can put them back the way they were. This is just an experiment to see if you've got something important turned off. If so we can start troubleshooting from there.

2. Reboot the cocktail in "safe mode with networking" mode, and see if you can ping it from your main computer then.

3. Is the main computer on DHCP as well, or static?  From both computers, run a CMD prompt and then do an "ipconfig /all" -- capture the results and post them here.

John,

Unless I absolutely have to,  I'd rather not "shotgun" enable all services.  I re-went through them and only a few are unchecked in MSCONFIG...and none have anything to do with networking,  unless messenger is "networking".

I did try to ping COCKTAIL when it was loaded in to savemode w/networking and got the same result.  I could not ping it from the office PC but I could ping the office PC from it.  It will also ping itself.

Attached is the IPCONFIG /all output from the COCKTAIL.  I can't do the OFFICE PC as I am using a MAC keyboard on it (I'm using 3 macs and a pc all from the same keyboard) and the PRTSCRN button is non-existent.   That said,  I compared the output to the COCKTAIL output and it's identical minus the NAME and the network adaptor type (one is a Nvidia the other is a RealTek I believe).  All addresses match save for the .103 vs .105.

FrizzleFried:
Looking at my router settings... I notice that under DHCP Active IP Table only IP's .104 and .105 are appearing.  I THINK my wifes PC is .104,  but .103 the office PC isn't showing up there.  There is an option to delete and that is it.

Should I?

_Iz-:
Do you have a switch or something else in there besides the router? I'm counting more computers than a standard router has ports...
