I have a network set up between two computers with Windows XP, and they can't
see each other on the network... They are on the same workgroup, and I can
see that the network is connected. Whenever I try to ping the IP Address on
one computer it doesnt work, it says "Failed." How can i fix this problem?

Andrew,
Frequently, this will be a firewall problem.

If that's no help, try troubleshooting the problem.
