Ok let's see if I can explain this without confusing you and myself..... I
have 2 computers, both running XP Pro, fully updated widows updates, drivers
etc. Computer A is a Dell Dimension 2350 Broadcom 440x 10/100 Network card
2.0GHz P4 256 MB RAM also computer A has the internet connection. Computer B
is a Dell Optiplex GX100 3Com 3C920 10/100 integrated network card, 700 MHz
Celeron 320 MB Ram. They are linked directly with a crossover ethernet
cable. This has really got me confused.....I have ran the network setup
wizard on both computers choosing the appropriate settings for each system.
The internet connection is shared and working just fine. Both have netbios
over tcp/ip enabled. Simple file sharing is disabled on both machines and as
I want all drives shared with all systems, there was an administrative share
automatically setup on the root of all drives for me. Workgroup name is the
same: MSHOME, computer names are different. Computer A has XP's ICF enabled
ONLY on the net connection, not the LAN connection. Computer B has NIS 2003
installed and running (remember A is the host here and B is the client)
before I configured NIS the network connection didn't work at all, so I
configured it and now I get some form of communication between the 2
systems. I can ping either machine from either machine and it works fine. If
I go into my network places and click view workgroup computers I get an
error message saying that "Mshome is not accessible. You might not have
permission to use this network resource. Contact the administartor of this
server to find out if you have access permissions. The List of servers for
this workgroup is not currently available." If I click start>run on computer
B and type in \\ followed by computer A's name i can browse most of what's
shared there, but if I do the same in reverse I get the message saying
"\\computername is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this
network resource. contact the administartor of this server to find out if
you have access permissions. The account is not authorized to log in from
this station." There are 2 accounts with identical names and passwords on
each system, so I know that is not the problem. Any help anyone can give me
is greatly appreciated. TIA
