I am having trouble with this one network setup that I have which I never
encountered before. I normally can figure out what to do but this one has me
running around in circles. Anyway, I have a small business/home network that
has three computers hooked up.
The first one is a PC that serves as the server and is running Windows XP
Pro SP1.
It has an old Norton anti virus 2003 which will expire soon.
The firewall is disabled.
IP is 192.168.0.100
Subnet 255.255.255.0
Gateway & DNS just zeroes
The second is a PC also and is running Windows HP Home.
THe firewall is disabled also
IP is 192.168.0.101
Subnet 255.255.255.0
Gateway & DNS just zeroes also
These first two computers are both running well on the network.
The third system is a laptop with Windows XP Pro SP2
The firewall is disabled also
I uninstalled the anti virus just to make sure
IP is 192.168.0.102
Subnet 255.255.255.0
Gateway & DNS just zeroes also.
All systems are wired and plugs into an SMC Hub. The problem with the
laptop was intermittent at first but now it cannot totally locate the
network. Since they are all on the same workgroup which is MSHOME I am able
to see the laptop on the network neighborhood and not the other two.
I have tested the hub and even replaced it. I have tested the cable,
recrimped, and even use a new manufactured one.
It used to give me access denied error when I click "View workgroup
computers" now it just shows me the laptop as the only computer on the
network.
I also don't think it's the browser since I tried mapping directly to the
shared drives and tried connecting to the shared printers without success.
I would appreciate all your help and a quick response. Thank you
Joel,
One of the most common causes of this problem would be a misconfigured or
overlooked personal firewall, or other security component. Disabling personal
firewalls doesn't always accomplish anything. There are several other
possibilities too, and any might be the cause of your problem. Read this article
with an open mind.

Also, some antivirus products contains components that act like firewalls.

You might want to look at "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all" from each
computer, and diagnose the problem. Read this article, and linked articles, and
follow instructions precisely (download browstat!):

And make sure that NetBT is consistently set on all computers.
