Hi folks.
I have, 1 x XP SP2 Home Edition machine(PC1), 1 x Me
machine(PC2), 1 x 4 port hub, 1 x Dial up phone line
connect to XP SP2 machine.
Since upgrading to windows XP SP2 Home Edition on PC1 my
network has not been functioning, it worked perfectly for
the network but now every game I buy needs XP, hence the
upgrade(The Me machine needs replacing as it's to old -
read to slow - to upgrade). I've gone through the Network
troubleshooter, I've run every check I can think of on
the settings, I even rang microsoft and spent a pretty
penny on the phone bill while the guy tried everything I
already had to try and fix the problem. Now down to
details :-
PC1 can see in "My Network places"->"View workgroup
Computers" both machine PC1 and PC2 but when it tries to
access PC2:
"\\Pc2 is not accessible. You might not have permission
to use this network resource. Contact the administrator
of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
The network path was not found."
PC2 does NOT show PC1 but it does show itself in Network
neighbourhood.
Also I cannot ping either machine from the other!?!
As PC2 worked find when I had WinMe on PC1 I assume it is
a problem with PC1's networking settings. I even did a
complete reinstallation of the network to no avail.
Please, this seems not to be an isolated case so can
someone from microsoft please look at this problem,
meanwhile I'm a user with a net-work that doesn't comply
to its name.(It don't work folks!)
