Cannot access computers

[Guest]

I have a network with 3 computers, two of which are notebooks that have the
option of both wireless or wired connections. My network used to work fine,
but after installing SP2, I've had nothing but problems. When I'm on
one,notebook, I can see all of the computers on the network, but cannot
connect to any of them. On the other notebook, I can see all of the computers
and connect to the other notebook. When I am on the workstation, I can't see
any other computers and cannot connect to them. This is very frustrating
because it had been working great since I set it up almost a year ago. I have
exhausted every possibility that I can think of.

.... 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 blocks the LAN traffic.
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.
