Message: "....is not accessible. You may not have permission to use this

you have access permissions. Network path was not found."

Resolutions:
1) make sure no any firewall running.
2) make sure you have created the same workgroup, and the same username on
w2k/xp for logging on a remote computer.
3) check user's rights.
4) you may want to enable guest account on w2k/xp.
5) if you are using simple file sharing, you may try to disable it and
re-share the drive manually.
6) if it is mixed OS (win98, NT, ME and W2K/XP) network, enable NetBIOS over
TCP/IP.
7) make sure the Computer Browser service is started if all computers are
w2k/xp.
8) stop Computer Browser service on win9x, ME and NT if this is a mixed OS
network.
9) cache credential by using net use \\computername\share /user:username
command (it is better to have the username logon shared computer).
10) if you have tried enabling netbios over tcp/ip but doesn't work, you may
try to load netbeui (loading netbeui may slow your network).
11) Make sure the server service is running.
12) If you can see the share in Network Neighborhood but not access it, this
issue may be resolved by verifying that both the share permissions and the
NTFS partition permissions are correctly configured for individual user or
group access.

Hi,

I am having a similar issue. I am not trying to share an
internet connection just trying to share files from one
cpu to the other. The cpu's are directly connected to each
other via a crossover cable. Neither cpu can see the other
over the network. One CPU has XP and the other 98SE. I see
you said something about running netbeui. What is that
exactly and how can I run this?? Please let me know.

Thanks,

Delroy

you should try to enable NetBIOS over tcp/ip on xp first. loading netbeui
from XP CD will be last thing to do.
