Hi Brad
I came up against a similiar problem recently but with a 4 unit network. 3
of the machines could see each other, the 4th could see only itself. Turns
out the NIC was bad.
Here is what I would suggest since you have a couple of variables to deal
with.
1. Take your cable to your local network specialist company and ask them to
check the cable with a tester that can determine if you have it wired
properly. This might cost you $3 but it is a cheap way of checking your
connection and perhaps eliminating a lot of frustration. Worst case, a
replacement from them might cost $25
2. Check that you have MS file and print sharing turned on.
3. Setup the system to use NetBui instead of TCP/IP. This will verify that
it is not your TCP/IP configuration that is a problem
4. Purchase a replacement NIC and put it first in one machine, then into
the other. This will check both of the NICs for a bad card.
Good Luck
