Not sure if it's the same thing, but I lost the ability to print last
week. I had to change the local policy for other machines to login as
themselves, then use the command to configure auto login. I'm
wondering if there was some security update I accepted. Weird.

PC #1 Laptop: Win XP Media Center, wireless connection to Router, No
Firewall. I can see PC #2 and access shared folders and transfer files
from #1 to #2.

PC #2 Desktop: Win XP Media Center, Wireless connection to Router, No
Firewall. I can see PC #1 on the network but the (2) shared folders do
not show up. When I click on PC #1, I get the following screen:
\\FamilyPC is not accessible. 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.

Both PC's access the internet ok.

Thanks.
