try giving each comp full file sharing, and see if it makes a difference.

Full file sharing is already active on the 2000 machines and I did that too to mine as I thought it was that at first.

Yeah rebooted

eg:
comp1= 192.168.0.1
comp2= 192.168.0.2
comp3= 192.168.0.3

Yeah got those IP's already in, can ping them from any machine no probs, its just when it comes to pinging a name of a computer from the XP machine or ping the XP comuter's name from the other two.

TBH I would probably get rid of the NWLink stuff, as you only need IPX/SPX if you are connecting to Novell NetWare servers... You should be able to get everything up and running with what you see in my pic.

the fact your ICS is working suggests that TCP/IP is working as normal in every respect. The fact you are not getting ping responses suggests that you have XP Pro's Built-in firewall turned ON, although normally this shouldnt affect local addresses.

To diable it (im not using XP here at work so this is from memory)

For all connections, go to their properties, and on the last tab there should be a tick box about enabling the firewall, turn this off.

Hope that helps

I'm also guessing you are using a router and NIC for your net connection (no modem)... this would explain why the firewall would be on, because you would be sharing your NIC for the internet

The firewall built in is not ticked, Norton firewall wouldnt be a prob dont think. Think all cables are Cat5, one from hub to XP is deff, and others I think are, not sure how check though. New only got them month ago if that makes diff
