If you are using DHCP, shut down both machines, start up one, let it completely boot,
then start
up the other one. You may also need to install IPX/SPX protocols on both to resolve
names to them
as far as browsing them goes. I have had similar problems with small Windows networks
from
booting them up at different times... like the computer on 192.168.0.1 is shut down
and then
192.168.0.2 is the lowest IP, and then the original machine starts up and doesn't know
what IP to
take. Try running WinIPCfg on them and see if they are taking similar enough IPs.
