Hsa anyone bottomed this yet? Ironically the problem started a couple of days
after I bought a new laptop on the 10th Feb, I am now on a second replacement
as the problem seemed to be on the machine. The problem did not affect the
rest of my network until last night, now I cannot share anything.

Any solutions - this must be a Windows update issue surely?

Using SP2 (XP Pro) on a desktop and a tablet PC. No problems accessing
files back and forth. Suggest taking a look at this article and using it as
a "check" against what you've got so far. (Note that the article is for XP
Pro. There is a link to the same info as it applies to XP Home in the
introductory paragraph of the article):
