I have tried static IP while trying to diagnose this. Right now I think I have both machines on DHCP but the gateway switch set to always give each the same IP. (Hard to remember since I’ve changed things back and forth so much trying to solve this problem.) I’ve always changed NetBIOS according to whether I’m using static or dynamic IP.

Your message says: "always give each the same IP." You really don't mean that BOTH machines have been given the SAME IP address, do you?

No. Sorry to be imprecise. The MAC address for the Mac always gets one pre-selected IP address, and the MAC address for the PC always gets another. But I've changed the config so many times, I can't recall without looking if that's the way I have them now.

Hi guys, I've got the same problem.
From my pc i just put in my Mac's IP and name so: 192.168.1.3/macsname and i can acces it easily. But the other way around does not work. It worked at some point when i set up a home network using xp pro sp2's network wizard. But suddenly it stopped working. Thats windows for ya. I'll see what else i can find on the net, caus im determined to do this!
