I'm having a similar problem. I've followed Carey's directions, and they
did not solve the problem.

My desktop runs XP Home, V5.1, SP 2. When I try to share folders or my
printer from the desktop, the error I get is "An error occurred while trying
to share the folder. The server service has not started".

When I try to share the printer, the error message is: "Printer settings
could not be saved. The operation could not be completed".

I don't have a firewall installed. Both my desktop and laptop can access
the internet, but they can't share files or the printer. The two machines
can ping each other.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
