Re: can ping but not view other pcs by share name - error 53 has occur

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Do the computers have accounts with passwords? To XP, use of an
account with blank or "Null" password is considered a non-trusting
situation.

So, after searching the internet and various technet articles I still
cannot
resolve this issue.

I have a linksys wrt54g router on my home network and 2 pc's running win
xp.
I have a class C network . The router is acting like a dhcp server

router: 192.168.1.1
desktop: 192.168.1.x pc name "foo"
laptop: 192.168.1.y pc name "bar"

both are on the same subnet and are part of the same workgroup "stuff"

I have disabled simple file sharing, configured the firewall on both pc's
to
allow file and print sharing and nada. I even tried to use a local hosts
file
and set up the router 192.168.1.1 as the dns server and no dice.

I am losing my mind. I can ping the other machines but cannot view the net
shares or connect by pc name. All are running windows xp sp3 so the older
"hotfix" I found online does not apply here. I appreciate whatever help
you
can offer.
