I have a small computer network of 10pcs. All PCs have Windows XP Professional installed. Class C IP address are used starting from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.10. Main internet gateway PC's IP is 192.168.0.1 which has a second NIC Card connected to ISP.
I am using simple file sharing in the PCs and all shares of the computers were accessible from each other. A few days ago one of my PC (192.168.0.5-PC5) did not allow other computers to access it from the network showing message as follow.
\PC5 is not accessible. You.... ..... ........
Access is denied
The strange thing about the PC is that the access denied message is displayed only when you try to access the PC by doubleclicking its icon from the My Network Places.
But if you know the share name then you can access the PC without any problems from explorer by typing \pc5share.
Strange problem
Please help me to solve this problem.
