Hi all,
I have a problem with my existing network at home - I have had a fully
functional network at home with 2 desktops and 2 wireless laptops sharing an
internet connection via Linksys router on WinXP. The problems occured after
I upgraded one of my laptops and one of my desktops to SP2. The upgrade
went flawlessly. However, when I click on the network neighbourhood and
select one of my four computers - I get an dialog; "Computer Name is not
accessible... you may not have permissions... contact network
administrator... Access denied" I am logged in as the administrator. What
had changed? I still see all my computers in the neighbourhood.
Simple File Sharing is set on
I have shared certain directories and drives before I upgraded to SP2
I've checked the firewall - and filesharing exception is checked.
I've got internet sharing on all computers
I've pinged each computer and I get a return
I've confirmed that Computer Browser in Services has started and is
automatic
I've tried TCP/IP advanced from standard to NetBios over TCP/IP
I've tried the network wizard disk on all computers
I've renamed my workgroup to HOME and each computer to ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR
None of these seem to work to allow me access so far. Funny occassionally,
I see a shared documents folder in my Network Places, and I can copy to it -
but I can open the computers themselves. Is there something new in SP2 that
I need to set permissions? I haven't set any passwords for anything - its
only my wife and I at home, so we each just log on with our names without
passwords and WindowsXP just loads onto the desktop without asking (which is
how we prefer it). I actually re-installed WinXP (SP2 slipstreamed) on my
desktop - thinking something got mucked up in the upgrade - but still no go.
So far I have very little back on my desktop - its still pretty much a bare
clean install - just updated from MS, MS Office and Norton SystemWorks
2005 - but NO Internet Security.
Help, any suggestions would be helpful.
