I currently have a Windows 2000 machine with is connected by ethernet wire to
a 2wire Homeportal 1000c dsl modem/router. I also have a Windows XP machine
connected by a usb adapter (Linksys USB200HA). Both machines can access the
internet and belong to the same workgroup but I cannot see either machine
when I go into my network places. I just want to be able to share files
across the two machines. Please help.

Both machines appear to be running the same IP address and I am unable to
ping them.

Are they on the same subnet?

Any firewalls interfering?

Chuck the two machines appear to be on different subnets. The Windows 2000
machine has a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and the XP machine has a subnet
mask of 255.255.0.0. What exactly does this mean?

Well, that's one reason why the 2 computers can't see each other.

Can you post complete "ipconfig /all" for both computers?
