cannot find by computer name

07-06-2007, 02:30 PM

Hello,

I have LAN A and LAN B. From computer A I can ping computer B with computer
name but when I use Search option or \\computername, it doesn't find it.
What could be the issue?

Thanks
Kris

Yes, WINS, DNS & DHCP.
Its XP firewall issue. Turned it off. Working good.
