Re: can't see 1 computer on the network

If you're running XP Home on all your PCs, you are probably running into the
5 connection limitation.

i have a home network with 6 pcs all going into a linksys router. i set it
up using the network connection wizard. all machines are running xp. there
is one computer that i can't get to. from all other computers, it shows up
on 'entire network' but if you try to open it, you get the error that you
don't have access. i have the problem computer running on my admin acct,
but i don't think that should matter since i can get to all the others
whether they're on admin or not. i think it's a conflict with one other
computer on the network because when that one is disconnected, i can access
the problem computer. i reinstalled xp on that box (b/c of a disk crash)
and named it with a unique name, but i still have the problem.
any ideas?

also, how come i can't share a partition? after the disk crash i put in a
300g drive and formatted it with 3 partitions. i wanted to be able to use
one of the partitions as a common data storage site, but i can't share it.

thanks,
chris
