Have a little problem with Windows XP. I can see all three computers in

have permission to access this resource" or something like that. On my
"DATA" computer i can access "Games", but on "Games" i cannot access
"Main". On "Main" I cannot access either "Games" nor "Data". Here is my setup:


Lynksys 4 port router

Any Suggestions Would Be Greatly Appreciated


Brian,

One of the most common causes of this problem would be a misconfigured or
overlooked personal firewall, but there are other possibilities too.  What
antivirus products do you use?

If no help yet, provide "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all" from each
computer, so we can diagnose the problem.  Read this article, and linked
articles, and follow instructions precisely:

Identify each computer with more detail please.

3. How does each network device connect together? all three connect via ethernet to a Lynksys 4 port router which is connected to my cable modem. all three have Internet access.


Operating Systems: DATA and Games are XP Pro and Neoknight is XP Home Edition SP2 full updates installed. Neoknight is my main computer and basically the only reason i need to see the other two is just for their hard drives.

hope i got everything ya needed
