Sharing files on a network

[Chris]

Hi, I having problem sharing files on my home network.
The network system that I am using is a all in 1 pack
provide by BT (HOMENETWORK 1200) and they are three XP PC
connected to it.
I am able to access the Internet from all three PC but I
can only access the share files of two of this PCs.
If I try to access the files of the 3rd PC the following
error message appear
_________________________________________________________
|"\\(PC ID) is not accessible. You don't have permission|
| to access network source. |
| |
| Network path not found " |
|_______________________________________________________|

To make this trickier, this massage also comes up if I
try to access my share files of this PC throw the network
using this same PC.

Please can some one help me?

Thanks for your time Chris.

.... is not accessible

Message: "....is not accessible. You may not have permission to use this
network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if
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.
