Anyone help me....How do I setup my Network properties in XP so that 3 machines can play LAN with my Telkom Router. At this moment only the other 2 sees each other, and my 3rd machine (connected to router) doesn't see the other 2?
Thanx

You may need to provide a bit more info.

I assume you have run the Network setup wizards on each machine choosing the option that describes your configuration.

You have made sure that your firewalls are giving you access.

You have made sure that your machine that connects to the web allows that link to be shared.

Your IP address ranges are compatible.
 
I got 12 people working on my Telkom Marconi router (the new one).. I plugged in an older 8 port switch into the router, and had an effective 13 ports.
I assume you running DHCP (auto IP). In this case, make sure all the PC's has IP set on auto. Secondly, make sure they all have the exact same workgroup name.
If it still doesnt work, then im not sure why.
Just note though, i had the same problem, u couldnt see it on the network, but the games still worked with all PC's :)
Good LUck!
