Hi all,

I did some searching but my problem seems a little different then what I am reading from other posts. Ok I have a total of 3 machines all running XP sp2. All the machines are connected to my linksys router and the are part of a workgroup named "household". The machines aren't all always on.

The problem I am having is when I go to network places and click "Entire Network" then "Microsoft Windows Network" then "household" there is an extreme delay. This delay ends up with both computers not finding each other unless I restart one of the computers again. Basically I go into properties and make sure they are both part of "household".

All machines except one have static IP numbers.
