   Make sure ALL your PCs on your home LAN are setup to bind   
   "File and Printer sharing" to IPX only.   Not TCP/IP   
      
   Also, all the PCs need to use the same Frame type (under advanced settings   
   for IPX).   
   They don't automagically find each other otherwise.   
      
   You can also use NETBEUI, it's on the XP CD, however it's not supported by   
   M$.
