Re: Cannot see computer on network


Ken,

OK, that's a much more normal set of browstat logs. Both computers see 2
computers. If you're running Simple File Sharing, then the error 5 is normal.
You don't have administrative access, which browstat requires, to access
Kav-Office from Kav-Upstairs.

Is the Guest account properly enabled, on both computers, for network access?

Chick,

I've gone through everything in the link above, even readjusting the Guest accounts, unchecking the Group Policy boxes mentioned, etc. Yes, Guest account is active on both computers.

BTW, I /can/ access KAV-Office from KAV-Upstairs, but /cannot/ access KAV-Upstairs from KAV-Office. The error message I keep getting in a gray box witha the HSA workgroup lable in the upper left hand corner, is:

"//KAV-upstairs is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. The specified network name is no longer available."

As mentioned earlier, all the permissions on KAV-Upstairs appear to be intact, and I have included Guest, Guests, Administator and Administrators, Everyone, my user name. I'm sure it's redundant, but I have added all these along the way.
