This happend about a week from now. I could not see my brother's computer, but i can see myself and he can see himself. We can't play IPX and TCP/IP games anymore because of this "problem". I have a NetGear SB104 10Mbps Network Starter Kit. We both are in the same Workgroup and are on Microsoft Family Logon. Thanks in advance.

Use "Client for Microsoft Networks" logon instead.

Also try installing the NETBEUI protocol on both machines..

can you ping your computer (127.0.0.1)? That shows if networking is properly installed. Can you ping other computer?? (by ip address and/or by name) Can you connect by mapping a drive (\\his_computer_name\shared_drive or \\his_computer\shared_drive$??(the $ means hidden share) Are you sure the workgroups are spelled exactly the same? Have you selected that you wish to share files (right click network neighborhood -> files and printer sharing)
