Home network not working due to 'computername' not in shared folder list.
My simple home network of 2 PCs with XP, SP3 and a Netgear WNDR3700 router was working great. I changed ISPs and now cannot get the home network back up. Running the home network wizard on each PC sets up internal IPs of 192.169.1.1 for the router and 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3 for the 2 PCs. Shared folders and files appear to be set up correctly and I can successfully ping the router and the other PC from each PC. Following Microsoft's troubleshooting procedure, everything is good until I get to the step where the 'computername' is to appear in the shared folders list, in computer management, system tools, shared folders, shares. All other shared folders and devices appear correctly on each PC. This is just about the last step in the troubleshooting procedure, but I can't get past it. What can I do? Or is something else wrong? I'm almost to the point in thinking there is something in the registry (added with my ISP change process) that is preventing this from working. Help!1 person needs an answerI do too
