64/32 network

Has anybody tried to set up a network between computer running WindowsXP x64
and a computer running WindowsXP Home edition ? In my case Internet sharing
works fine but I cannot get file and printer sharing to work. Ping between
these to computers works OK (address or name) but none sees the other on the
network. Strangely enough file and printer sharing between computer with
WindowsXP x64 and a 32 bit computer running Linux Ubuntu works OK although
WindowsXP 64x also does not show Linux computer on the network. I have tried
to disable firewalls and DCOM but it is still the same. I just do not
understand what is going on. Can anybody help with some explanation ?

It should work as long as Client for Microsoft Networks is installed
and working. There is nothing special to XP64 networking, it works
identical to XP 32-bit or Win2K3. Are you getting an error of some
kind?

If u have SSID disabled, enabled it.You can disable again after computers
are visible.

I have finally managed to make it work. It required activation of LMhosts. I
believed that this was already obsolete and not needed for WindowsXP.

It certainly is NOT needed under any circumstance I have ever
encountered. Perhaps your network setup is such that requires it?
