<< Machines will see themself but not each other >>



The number one cause for this, and I know this is damned fundamental and you've probably checked, is that you've not logged in to the machine. The number two cause is that you don't have shares enabled.

The other thing I can think of off hand is that one machine has Netbui installed and the other doesn't. Windows tends to default to this protocol even when you have TCP/IP setup on both. As we all know, Windows is easily confused.

I generally see this problem on my networks when using an older card that has the IRQ either jumpered or set by DOS driver software, and Windows is trying to assign a different IRQ or memory address to the NIC. Thus Windows knows it has a NIC, and will allow the computer to 'see' itself on the network, but is not actually using the NIC so the computer can't communicate with the rest of the network. If you happen to be using NICs that fit the description I gave, you may want to see what their 'hardware' settings are, and force Windows to use those settings...
 
This happens here every once in a while, if all is set as said/stated above, just wait a fews days, they might find each other then.

It happened here once or twice and I'm still perplexed😕
