Re: access problem--what happened?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

As I said,a reboot on both computers fixed the problem.

So, guess I'll keep my fingers crossed that it was a random event.

I'm sorry for the misunderstanding as your Q not clear to me. May be just
me!.
Try to Recreate the shares and make sure the Firewall allowing these
shares
access, you issue looks like a misconfiguration of Firewall or shares
permissions.
Any More info will be of a help to anyone want to help you, so please
provide more info, error messages, anti-virus/firewall and the OS version.

I have a Dell dim 2400 desktop in the basement with a linksys router.
I
have
an Inspiron 2200 laptop. I have XP HOME on both computers.

I have had no problems except for earlier today. I have some shared
folders
and the printer in the basement is shared. Today I tried to print
something
and got an error. Then I tried to get a file from a desktop shared
folder
and it couldn't find the path. Basically, it does this when the
desktop
is
turned off, but it wasn't. Incidentally, no problems in getting on the
internet.

Anyway, I rebooted both the desktop and the laptop and all is working
perfectly. I suspect this will be one of those unexplained glitches,
but
does anyone have an idea of what might have occurred? The desktop had
been
on for a few days. I had accessed the shared folders a few hours prior
to
the problems and in fact had also used the printer.

If the Desktop which has the Shared Folders On it is OFF, then it is
Normal
for the folders maped ro you created shortcuts to it on the laptop to
be
unavialable.
Since you rebooted both systems and you are able to accesss the shared
and
use the printer tht explain the prevoius answer.
But if you want to share folders and files and you be able to turn the
Desktop OFF and ON when you want, you will need an External Hard Drive
that
can be connected to the Router and shred between these computers, you
will
have a CMS software to configure the External Hard and set password to
secure
it from outer world?.
HTH.
