File Sharing - help 12

I have posted here before and must say that so far, 100% of my questions have
been answered succesfully. I have faith that average will continue.

My Question:
I have just setup a router with wired connection and the 2 pc's connected to
router run on Win2k (Windows 2000). ! of the 2 appears in the network
neighborhood of 1 pc (obviously appearing on its own network neighborhood)
however pc number 2 appears NEITHER in its network neighborhood nor in pc
#1's neighborhood. The two can ping each other no prob but I cannot make
pc#2's name appear in any neighborhood. I have tried reinstalling TCP/IP,
renaming the workgroup name and searching GOOGLE for file sharing info, but I
have been unsuccesful.

HELP!

Check this. Make sure NetBIOS over TCPIP is running.

Hi,
Unfortunately, neither your response nor the link really helped.
This would apply to the more standard situation whereby things WERE working
well, however, all things NOT being equal, that is, things NOT working as
they should, I would need more help.

I appreciate your assistance however.

Anyone else?

Hi Lara,
Finally someone who knows what I am talking about. Ok ummm, how do I
deactivate or diable the "browser service" on one of the 2 pc's? I figured
I'd do it on the second pc which is used less often than the 1st.

I await your response.

Thanks,

AL
