Gurkha & chip7238,

This problem may happens because of Windows XP SP 3 update.

In your SI 5 Client machine,
1. Browse to 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc'.
2. Open 'hosts' with notepad.
3. Below '127.0.0.1' add the static ip's of the machines your are unable to see (That is, your SI 5 Server machine).
4. Below 'localhost' add the hostnames of the ip's you just entered.
5. Save and exit.

For Example:

Hosts File Before Changing

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost
