Hi there all,
A new guy has move into my Halls in University. He has connected his PC

to our LAN - He can use the internet with no problems.
On our LAN we have 7 wired computers all on the MSHOME Workgroup... we
can all see each other eg for file sharing etc.

The problem is, is that he cannot see us and we can't see him on the
network. When he clicks my network places he cannot see anything.


He is uaing Win Xp SP2.


He has Norton Internet Security Installed. Even when I disable this
nothing happens.


He can ping other computers on the network but he cannot map the
drives.


Can anyone give a hint as to what the problem is.


Below is a paste from I/P config:

NIS doesn't magically stop fucking up your network by just disabling.
You need to uninstall it and, because it's so lousy, even verify that
the uninstall procedure suceeded (or clean it up yourself).

Well, who wonders? Windows Shares are only one single application on the
basis of TCP/IP.

Well, either there is another personal FW like XP's FW active that's
still blocking.

Maybe, the computer is not using the same network protocols as the other
machines.

Or, there could be some kind of concurrent connection issue on a P2P as
XP Home only allows 5 and Pro 10.
