Workgroups, WINS & NBoTCPIP are a pita. The IP works, so if you setup a DNS server
you could connect using machine names without problems.

The IP address (have to remember to use \\ or it will open the browser)
works fine, nice solid contact. I'll have to try the trick with the
master browser. I've heard of that problem on several versions of Windows.

By IP address, DNS, or WINS? If IP works then it's likely a master
browser election issue like the old days. Disabling the master browser
on the XP box would solve that, so would putting up a DNS server and
not relying on WINS.
Off the top of my head @ 4AM so YMMV!

Okay, here's a good one: How do you network a Win7 machine with a
WinXP machine. So far, Win 7 only sees that machine sometimes.
Lately, the last couple of boots, it refuses to see that machine.
It's only important that the Win7 machine sees the WinXP machine,
visa versa doesn't matter.
