Networking XP and Windows 2000

[rodalembs]

I think this should be relatively easy but i am having a wierd problem.

The Scenario
XP = 192.168.0.10 tcp-ip, client for MS networks, file and printer sharing
2k = 192.168.0.12 same as above

all plugged into the same hub
all cables tested and working
both pc's are in the same work group OFFICE

Problem.
I can ping the 2k box from the xp box
i can browse by the NETBIOS name ad IP address the 2k box
I can do none of the above on the 2k box

The Network Wizard does not work with Windows 2000 machines.
I was reading a forum yesterday that suggested to use NETBUI...but i am sure that i must can get it to work by IP...

Any suggestions... has anyone come across anything like this?

check your subnet mask on both machines, make sure they are the same.

[rodalembs]

....yeah man that is correct... :)

Its odd that you can't ping the XP from the W2k box.

[rodalembs]

tell me about it.... and i am at a total loss..

Are you using ZoneAlarm on the W2K box? Try adding a trusted IP range that includes the other machine's IP.

[deakie]

have you disabled the ping query on the xp box?
you may have got it blocked by a firewall. i think its the tcmp or is it icmp function??
also, just check the enable netbios over tcp box in advance...that should help a lot too......

[rodalembs]

No... no zone alarm or any other firewall......

I will try enabling NETBIOS over tcp/ip

Does the XP Box have Service Pack 2 Installed?? If yes disable it from the Control Panel and try to ping again..

[rodalembs]

no SP1 installed....

try creating a lmhosts file on both machine in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc.

192.168.0.10 Machine_name #PRE
192.168.0.12 Machine_name #PRE

at the command prompt type nbtstat -R

As you mentioned before, try the netbios over tcp/ip.
