What's the complete and exact error message?

\\bjp is not accessable. You might not have permission to use the
network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find
out if you have access permissions.

Access is denied

Apparently and error = 5.

How recently, in the past, was share "\\bjp\bjp-c" properly accessible? What
changed about that time?

Thats kind of a tough one... it may be quite a while. Possibly even
before sp/2 was installed on it.

There isn't alot of reason most of the time for the rest of the
network to talk to \\bjp.

bjp can be pinged but also the output of nbstat -a bjp from \\chub
appears to confirm it can be contacted:


C:\Documents and Settings\Harry>nbtstat -a bjp

Local Area Connection 2:
Node IpAddress: [192.168.0.1] Scope Id: []

NetBIOS Remote Machine Name Table

OK, we're back to BJP running XP Home, and using Guest access only. So you say
that you have

C:\>net user guest
User name Guest
Full Name
Comment Built-in account for guest access to the
computer/domain
User's comment
Country code 000 (System Default)
Account active Yes

With Simple File Sharing, you can't check permissions directly. So let's try
additional tools. NTRights maybe.

Or CACLS.

Now NBTStat tells you that you are getting NetBT name resolution for BJP
(NETBIOS Name Service). It doesn't really say that you can setup a NetBT
session though (NETBIOS Session Service). Nor that the other computers are
going to, necessarily, use NetBT when establishing a session.
