Now they can't ping each other.......

Once again - from A to B I have no problems - ping works both on IP

From B to A - i can ping A by IP and hostname, but now I keep getting

use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to
find out if you have access permissions."
On Both:
WinXP Pro with SP2
Simple File Sharing is enabled
Computer Browsing service is enabled
Same user ID and passwords are established.
Windows Firewall is disabled on Local Area connections
NETSTAT on B shows:

NET VIEW from B returns an error:

\\piv24ghz from B shows error message "Server PIV24GHZ is not

I has ZoneAlarm installed on Comp A - have removed it completely and
tried troubleshooting without it - made NO difference - I do not
believe that ZA is interfering in any way.
Thanks.
Dmitri,
The IPConfig logs look good.
Let's check the browser situation first.
Make sure the browser service is running on one computer. Control Panel -
Administrative Tools - Services. Verify that the Computer Browser, and the
TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper, services both show with Status = Started. Disable the
browser service on the other computer.
Then power both computers off. Power one on, and then the other. Use browstat
to identify the master browser.
The Microsoft Browstat program will show us what browsers you have in your
domain / workgroup, at any time.
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=188305
You can download Browstat from either:
<
http://www.dynawell.com/reskit/microsoft/win2000/browstat.zip>
<
http://rescomp.stanford.edu/staff/manual/rcc/tools/browstat.zip>
Browstat is very small (40K), and needs no install. Just unzip the downloaded
file, copy browstat.exe to any folder in the Path, and run it from a command
window, as "browstat status". Make sure all computers give the same result.
For more information about the browser subsystem (very intricate), see:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=188001
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=188305
<
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winntas/deploy/prodspecs/ntbrowse.mspx>
If the problem isn't the master browser, run some standard diagnostics for me.
Take the following code (everything inside the "#####"). (Did I get the names
and ip addresses right)?
Copy the code, precisely as it is keyed, into Notepad. Ensure that Format -
Word Wrap is not checked.
Save the file as "cdiag.cmd", as type "All Files", into the root folder "C:\".
Run it by Start - Run - "c:\cdiag".
Wait patiently.
When Notepad opens up displaying c:\cdiag.txt, first check Format and ensure
that Word Wrap is NOT checked! Then, copy the entire contents (Ctrl-A Ctrl-C)
and paste (Ctrl-V) into your next post.
Do this from all computers, please.
