RE: Latest Windows XP Updates Break File Sharing?

I am having a very similar problem.
I just installed today's 9 updates on my XP laptop (Windows version
5.1.2600) and now I cannot access the file sharing on my other Windows XP
systems, nor from them access my laptop. The updates were:
KB952954, KB946648, KB953839, KB950974, KB89083, KB951072, KB952287,
KB951066, KB953838
I have since tried uninstalling them and file sharing is still broken.
More detail on my setup:
- Laptop shares a number of directories, not using the "simplified" sharing
and I require login access.
- Desktop automatically connects to laptop to map shared folders.
- This has worked for 2+ years.
- Worked this morning. Powered down laptop to take it to work. Leaving work
powered down laptop and it installed the 9 updates. Got home, will not
connect.
- Desktop cannot connect to mapped drives, but can see laptop on network,
but cannot browse it.
- Laptop can see desktop is on network, but cannot browse to it.
- NET USE r: \\name\... returns "The network path was not found." on both
machines.
- Laptop also does not automatically reconnect to networked WD My Book
(network hard drive), whereas yesterday it did. Clicking on the drive's link
does force it to load, but initially fails at startup.
- Both machines run Kaspersky Inetrnet Security 7.0. Have tried disabling it
both machines but still does not help.
- Have tried rebooting both machines and my router.
- Removed all of the above updates from laptop, problem persisits.
- Now, desktop wants to install updates, but I don't want the problem on
both machines, so I will wait to learn what this is.
- Other 2 computers on network can both access each other: laptop with
updates is only one that cannot communicate with anyone else!
I too would love to hear if others are having the same problem, and what I
can do to fix it!

Hi, everyone! I just updated several XP SP3 systems within a Workgroup with.
the latest updates from the Windows Update site--specifically, KB951618,
KB952287, KB951072, KB953838, KB952954, KB951066, KB946648, KB950974,
KB951618, KB952287, KB951072, KB950974, KB953838, KB952954, KB946648,
KB951066, KB890830, and KB953839.
Since that time, I'm no longer able to share an external disk on one of the
computers with the other systems. The disk is shared using NetBIOS over
TCP/IP, and Windows Firewall on all the systems is configured to allow in the
NetBIOS ports from systems on the same subnet (Incoming NetBIOS is blocked at
the network firewall.). The disk shows up as shared on the system to which
it's attached, but when I try to access it from any of the other systems, I
get a "Not enough server storage is available to process this command" error
message.
I removed the updates I had installed on both the computer to which the
drive is attached and another computer in the same Workgroup, but the problem
persisted. Has anyone encountered a similar problem since installing the
latest updates? If so, how did you resolve it?
Thanks in advance!
