Thanks to every One who responded to this, turns out
It was Norton's Personal Firewall blocking everyone.
Client forgot it was installed, I didn't look as I 
was told there was no firewall installed. Oh Well.

Thank You

Subject: [THIN] OT: WinXP Question
Importance: High



Sorry for the off thread question, but this seems to be a smart group of
people. I have a client that just got a new computer with Windows XP Pro
SP2, everything Seems to be fine, except, it will not talk to any other
computer on the network. It is a basic peer-to-peer network. If I do a
search for computers by name, it finds Them and I can see the shares on
them, but if I try to just go through My Network Places It errors out
saying it can not connect to the workgroup. They are all fixed IP, same
Workgroup. The other computers are Win98SE and XP Home, they all see
each other just fine. I turned off the firewall and gave global
permissions to everything. Also I can ping The other computers from the
new one, but I cannot ping the new one from any other computer. I tried
un-installing SP-2, no change, so I re-installed it. Still no change. If
anyone has any tid-bit that may help, I would greatly appreciate it.


Thank You
