I've been reading this thread and have a similar problem.
4 Machines:
2 Windows XP PRO (SP1) Computer: A Computer B
2 Windows XP HOME (SP1) Computer C Computer D
all connected via a Linksys Wireless Router
1) Computer B via Network Places to access all the files on Computers
A,C and D
2) Computers A,C, and D can ONLY access via NET USE X: \IPaddr\sharename
3) Using Network Places, they all fail) \\computer is not accessible,
You may
not have the permissions....
I've made sure that the IRPStackSize is setup on all of the machines
Guest Accounts are off
At one point, when I attempted to connect, I got the popup window but
the account name \\computer\guest was grayed out and no passwords were
recognized.
I have Integrity Client Firewall setup , with Zone permissions for my
home Lan IPs. Even if I shutdown the Firewall on all systems, I still
get the failures via Network Places. I know I can get what I need via
NET USE commands, but Id like to know what is wrong and why this
FileSharing via Network Places seem to be one way only. All the other
machines can use Network Places to access the file shares on each
system.
Some additional information:
When I use Simple Sharing, the XP PRO machine can see all the other
Shares on the 3 machines. The other 3 machines can see the Share
on the XP PRO machine by using NET USE commands
When I switched to Advanced Sharing, the XP PRO Machine can no longer
see any of the other computers. NET VIEW command shows only that one
machine.
Switching back to Simple Sharing, NET VIEW shows all the other computers
plus
it can see all the Shares
