i have 3 computer all running win xp(2 on pro and 1 in home ed) i keep on changing the ip add. and somehow the in the end, it doesn't the other computer anymore. all are enable in file and printer sharing, guest user are disable and all have no password in it. but funny thing is when i reformat the home ed, and setup again the network on it, it works finally. my question is, do i have to reformat the other computer or is there way around it ? i tried snetwork wizard, and all are automatic ip add. assign. i have firewall but i set to allow the network to operate
 
Reformatting a Hard drive has nothing to do with Network.

People who have little knowledge of Networking (and after multiple use of the Network Wizard) end up with settings far away from default, and thus unable to get to the correct settings. Some times few Networks related files get trashed too.

By reloading the OS every thing gets back to default.

So it is anybody calls, Learn Networking. Or spend you time reformatting.
 
or load netbeui.

1) can every computer ping every other computer?
2) Is netbios over TCP enabled in the network control panel of every computer
3) Are workgroups the same for all computers?
4) Can you view a list of shares on a computer by typing \\<ip address>
5) Can you view a list of shares on a computer by typing \\computername

1. how do you do that on win xp?
2. yes

4. and 5. we can share file only thru "my shared folder" but other than that it give me the message of access denied need password which we didn't put it

btw, thanks for responding
 
hey,thanks it solve some of the problem but now i have to deal with password.
my main computer , i disable the mac brigde and so does my other computer. now i can access,see and transfer file to and fro but the "other" computer sees the main computer but whenever i double click the c: drive, it ask for a password and the username is set as "computername"/guest <- this is greyed out and i remember i didn't put any password on any of my file or folder even any drives from the very beginning
