Network problems , 2x win 7 pcs and two xp , if I unplug one win7 then the other win7 see both win xp pcs , one of the xp pcs see all of them and the other xp see none of the others just get "Workgroup is not accessible. You might not have permission" , they work If I add them manually by name.
How to fix this ? What setting could be wrong on the one win7 that make it kill network for xp ? (if its plugged in then only the win7 pc see each other) and how to get the last xp pc connected again ?
It all has worked well before. Also now none of the pc see me samba server but it answers ping to its ip.
Apreciate any hints.

Make and model router? (Or modem/router if combined.)

Are all four computers (two WIN 7 + 2 WIN XP) plugged into the same router?

Any other network devices? If so, how are those devices connected to the network?

Use "ipconfig /all" without quotes on each computer to discover the assigned DHCP IP addresses.

Post the results.
