Can't share files across LAN network

I'm getting access denied restrictions when trying to
share folders and printers on my XP Pro box with others on
my LAN (through a Linksys G-Band router). People can see
my machine name in the "view computers near me" but cannot
connect to it or it's shares. (As far as I can tell) I've
set the permissions to "EVERYONE" so there shouldn't be an
issue there. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what
is causing these restrictions? I'm totally stumped!

TIA

Are you using a software firewall (ICF or third party) on the XP Pro box (with a
wireless router, you should)?

Ping from the XP Pro box and from one other box on the LAN:
1) Ping the other by name.
2) Ping the other by ip address.
3) Ping itself by name.
4) Ping itself by ip address.
5) Ping 127.0.0.1.
6) Ping the router.
Report success / failure of each of 12 pings.

Cheers,
Chuck

The only firewall I am using exists on the router, so no
other firewall software is running. Since I'm not in
front of my XP box at this moment, I was able to ssh to my
linux machine that is on the LAN and was able to ping the
following.

Please disregard the previous thread, I sent it before I
could finish the message :-(
blame it on my fat fingers!

Anyway...

The only firewall I am using exists on the router, so no
other firewall software is running. Since I'm not in
front of my XP box at this moment, I was able to ssh to my
linux machine that is on the LAN and was able to ping the
following.

- ping the windows box by IP and name
- ping the linux box by IP and name
- ping the loopback (127.0.0.1)
- ping the router (192.168.1.1)

Can you gather any conclusions based on this? I know I
pinged the linux machine by IP before (192.168.1.103) with
success...

Well I was more interested in what you can ping from / to the Windows XP box
but...

Are you running both Client for Microsoft Networks, and File and Printer Sharing
for Microsoft Networks, on the Windows XP box?

Please provide ipconfig information for the Windows XP, and for one other box
that can see it in "view computers near me" (ie a working box).
Start - Run - "ipconfig /all >c:\ipconfig.txt" - Open c:\ipconfig.txt in
Notepad, copy and paste into your next post.

Are the shared folders on a FAT or NTFS partition?

Check to see if Simple File Sharing (Control Panel - Folder Options - View -
Advanced settings) is enabled or disabled.

If SFS is disabled, check the Local Security Policy (Control Panel -
Administrative Tools). Under Local Policies - Security Options, look at
"Network access: Sharing and security model", and ensure it's set to "Classic -
local users authenticate as themselves".

If you set the Local Security Policy to "Guest only", make sure that the Guest
account is enabled, and has a non-blank password. If "Classic", setup and use a
common account with identical password on both computers.

Cheers,
Chuck

Is that ipconfig for the problem computer, or for one of the working ones? I
will be able to help you diagnose your problem much better if you can provide me
two ipconfigs, one each from:
1) The problem computer.
2) One of the working computers.

That ipconfig is from the xp box that is the "problem"
computer... the only other IPconfig I can give you at the
moment is an "ifconfig" from my linux box..(my roomated
win2k laptop is "sleeping" at the moment.

here is the linux box
