I am using a crossover cable to network 2 windows xp sp2 home ed computers. I am using the workgroup "home" on both. I have DHCP set up on both machines. on both machines I can see computer 1 under my workgroup. computer 2 does not show up on either machine. I have shared files on both computers. and I have the fire wall turned off. the second computer see's 1 but not it's self under the network places Icon. How do I fix this. I have tried restarting , changing workgroup names, forcing an IP and subnet, changing the shared files, and using a network setup floppy. please help. I cannot see "my computer" under my workgroup.
