Once upon a time, all was well in the house , main machine running XP , as were the laptops and netbook , all getting along fine until...................................
I brought a new all in one desk top running win 8...
Now win 8 can see the other computers in the group , and it can browse shared folders , but none of the XP machines can see Win 8.
Any ideas guys ??
cheers

Try installing the Link Layer Topology Discovery Responder from Microsoft's website on the XP PCs and see if that resolves the problem. Although the article mentions networking XP with Vista, it will almost certainly apply to XP with Windows 7 & 8 too.
I thought you were a Linux user ?
Oh yes , but the new machine has not yet been linuxifed ( a new word), I will be dual booting soonQuote:
