I have 4 systems connected through an 8 port switch, and I can see every computer from each in windows. 2 are XP systems, and 2 are windows 7.
When playing paintball, I use the 2 more powerfull win 7 systems as servers. Or at least I try. The weaker of the 2 seams to work best as the server that everyone can connect to. It seems to serve well, but can't see any of the other systems as a client. The preferred stronger win7 system can be seen without issue by 2 of the 3 remaining systems. I'm stuck! It was working until recently when I added the 2 other systems. Between the 2 win7 systems, I could serve between either system, but now I cannot.
Somethings changed on that system besides adding the 2 new, and I'm completely baffled.
Anyone got any pointers on how to get the weaker system to be a client of the stronger system?

if you have no problem with pinging other computers, you should be able to connect them.
You should use "connect x.x.x.x:y" command to connect to server.
Server should be dedicated and configured (port, firewall, etc. ).
If you still have problems post more informations.
P.S. I may not be able to still help you, cause my net fails last days...

Thanks! I shall give that a try this weekend. Hope it works!

Not the ideal solution, but it does work as advertised. Thank you very much.
