Hi,
I have 2 G3 iMacs, both of which are running Panther 10.3.2. They are both connected to a router via ethernet, as is my Windows XP laptop. When I browse my network from one of the Macs, it shows everything in my LAN, namely Local folder (the other iMac), MSHOME folder (the windows laptop), Workgroup folder (the router), and a 'Servers' alias (itself). It even shows my flatmate's Windows 2000 laptop which is connected to the router wirelessly. However, when I browse the network from the other Mac, all it shows is the 'Servers' alias (the router), and the other Mac. There is no Local, MSHOME, or Workgroup folders, or for that matter my flatmates laptop. Both Macs have new installs of the OS, so their configurations should be the same. Can anyone suggest why one has found the network and the other hasn't ?.
(edit:..p.s. I've read the How to Network with Windows guide but to no avail)
