Neil,
On any XP Pro computer, check to see if Simple File Sharing (Control Panel -
Folder Options - View - Advanced settings) is enabled or disabled. With XP Pro,
you need to have the SFS settings properly set on each computer.
With XP Pro, if SFS is disabled, check the Local Security Policy (Control Panel
- Administrative Tools). Under Local Policies - Security Options, look at
"Network access: Sharing and security model", and ensure it's set to "Classic -
local users authenticate as themselves".
With XP Pro, if you set the Local Security Policy to "Guest only", make sure
that the Guest account is enabled, thru Local User Manager (Start - Run -
"lusrmgr.msc"), and has an identical, non-blank, password on all computers. If
"Classic", setup and use a common non-Guest account, with identical, non-blank,
password on all computers.
For XP Pro with Simple File Sharing enabled, make sure that the Guest account is
enabled, thru Local User Manager (Start - Run - "lusrmgr.msc"), on each
computer.
Is ICF running on the LAN connection on PC1? If so, you need to configure it
for file sharing, by opening ports TCP 139, 445 and UDP 137, 138, 445. Firewall
configurations are a very common cause of (network) browser, and file sharing,
problems.
Cheers,
Chuck
