I went out of town recently, and brought my wifes laptop with me to use.
The connection at the motel was a broadband connection. This system is a
dual boot with XP and linux. Neither was any problem to setup this
connection. The default was a static 192.168.1.104. The connection
required a DHCP connection. So far no problem. Now that I back home a
can't get my other linux systems or windows to see this system in XP,
linux still see and prints to the network. All ping good. I reset my
router for DHCP. All other system see each other but this one. Now I'm
confused, I'm missing something simple. This is a home network with 4
computers connected to it. I can give versions and motherboard answers,
but because this worked before this doesn't seem necessary.
Thank for any help.

This sounds like a Windows question.  You said Linux works fine?

Me.

Yeh! too bad eh! So go and pay Microsoft a few hundred to tell you the
answer and then wipe XP off your systems.. :-)

If "all ping good" as you say then the network isn't the problem.  Not
being able to "see" things at this point sounds more of a higher level
problem (meaning environment such as workgroup or domain) rather than a
low level one (DHCP not assigning an address, etc.).

Just work through it mythodically.  I know at work there was some weird
registry hacks we had to do to make XP friendly with SAMBA.  Sorry,
don't remember the MS Doc ID for that one.  However, to reiterate, if
you can ping all the machines (including this XP) machine.  It's not a
problem with the network or "lower-level" stuff (such as IP), it's
"higher" level.
