Cannot see shared folders or printers on one pc

[Guest]

Hi

I have a workgroup of 3 pcs. All can see each other in the workgroup,
however the shared folders & printer on one pc cannot be seen from the
others. There is no firewall switched on. I have run XP repair, no
difference. I just get \\pcname is not accessible...

I set up networks all the time but I just can't get to the bottom of this
one. What else can I try?

Thanks

Derek

Derek,

What firewall is not switched on? Remember that some firewalls can't be
successfully switched off. Start with my troubleshooting guide:
