Re: Problem with Accessing One Computer on a 4-Computer Home Netwo

Hello Dragos,
Well, I checked NTFS rights, permissions and all sorts of other settings and
still had no luck. As it was a recent O/S install -- and very little user
data to back up -- I decided I had wasted enough time fiddling around.
I backed up what little user data there was and did another clean
installation of Windows XP Pro. I set up the network, saw all the PCs I was
expecting to and, best of all, I was able to access files and printers on my
"problem" PC.
Thanks to all for your suggestions. Life is good. :>

Hi Dragos,
Simple file sharing WAS enabled on the "problem" machine.
I turned it off, and rebooted. But still no luck.
Anyway, thanks for that suggestion.

Hi all,
I posted this a few hours ago on the
microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless newsgroup, but the only
suggestion I've received so far is to look at a few articles that I've
already seen and tried.
I'm working on a customer's wireless home network that has 4 computers
on
it, 3 running XP Pro with SP2, 1 with XP Home, and all updates
installed.
I've used a Linksys router, and each machine is able to connect to the
Web
without any problems.
The customer wants to be able to share printers, which are attached to
two
computers, as well as to have a common directory on each machine that
will
be visible to all 4 PCs on the network.
I'm having problems with one of the 4 computers not being able to have
its
shared folder and attached printer accessed by the other 3 machines.
When
I
display the Microsoft Windows network via Windows Explorer, the unique
computer name is visible, but when I click on the computer name in
order
to
see the folder that is being allowed for sharing. I receive an Access
Denied
message.
I am able to ping to this machine -- this is one of the 3 PCs with XP
Pro
installed -- from the 3 other computers, and vice-versa, and the
"problem"
machine is able to access the designated shared folder on the other 3.
Additionally, the other 3 computers are able to see the contents of
each
others' files in the network.
To troubleshoot I've disabled all 3rd party firewalls and, as the
network
has a hardware router, I've tried turning off the Windows firewall on
the
"problem" PC to see if that makes any difference. It doesn't. I've
also
turned off the IPSEC service, as suggested in
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=314067http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=314067
but this has not helped either.
Does anyone have some thoughts as to what might be going on, and how I
can
get my "problem" PC to open itself up to the others? When I go back to
the
customer's house in the morning, I'd like to have a few fresh ideas
that
I
can try.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Alan
