Re: Adding a new computer to existing home office network



Check the new pc's firewall logs if any, and Event Viewer logs; there may be
hints there. And check anything else that might be monitoring comms, if you
have any.

Malke's advice seems sound also but the first thing I usually do is -prove-
it's not a firewall issue.

I am tring to add a brand new laptop running XP Professional to an
existing network. Other machines also running XP. Both wired &
wireless connections available & good.

I have a strange situation. The new computer can 'see' & access other
computers on the network, while the other computers can see but can
NOT access the new one! The new computer has shared folders and
wizards have been run correctly etc I think. Singed into all machines
as Administrator.

Message I get (in Explorer) when I try to access shared drive on the
new computer from one of the others is '...is not accessible. You
might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the
Administrator (me) .... The network path was not found.'

Grateful if anyone has any suggestions please!

Thank you, Peter
