I have an awkward problem. I'm trying to network to XP machines together(no internet connection) in order to share files and link up Quickbooks. The connection is "connected." However, on one PC(Elite1), the other computer is visible on the Workgroup, but I can't ping that comp. On the other PC(Elite2), Elite1 is not showing up in the Workgroup, but I CAN ping it. What in the world? I've run the network wizards on both comps, but I just can't figure out what is happening. Any ideas? Thanks.
