hi,
i have this one computer in my workgroup which dosent seem to be
browsable via network. when clicked on the computer icon in network neigh'd,
it displays this message:

\\computername is not accessible. you might not have permission to use this
network reosurce. contact the adminstrator of this server to find out if you
have access permissions.

access is denied.

so what is going on.

here is the probable solutions that i used:

1. since all the computers can browse each other and the said computer can
browse itself plus can browse other computers. it signifies that the said
computer is OK, i.e. one way

2. to make sure, i had uninstalled the LAN card driver and then rebooted it.
after rebooting, i gave the static IP. with it it can browse interned (VSAT
line)

3. to make sure, firewall has also been set to its default. as such other
computers in LAN all have been set to the same firewall settings which i
think is not the problem creator.

4. pinging the system from other computers results positive. it gets replies
from the said computer

so any idea why the computer is not browsable from other computers in LAN
(workgroup). if there is no solution then i think the only solution is
reinstalling the OS.

any support pls..

Hello.

I have same problem here with three computers in LAN. That error message is
same except i don't have that "access denied." In the end it say something
like:" There is too little space in server to execute this command." (Might
be like that, i translate in from finnish to english).

Printer sharing doesn't work also. But printer is shown in Networking.

So i could use any help also.

I have newest updates, i have tried without firewall. I have used same
settings all computers (triple checked). Two computers are working together
fine, but this one is giving gray hairs.

The error "Not enough server storage is available to process this command." is
an obscure setting that typically is changed by antivirus programs.

You have a good start in reasoning the problem out. But you may have to think a
bit farther.

One of the most common causes of this problem would be a misconfigured or
overlooked personal firewall, or other security component. There are several
other possibilities too, and any might be the cause of your problem. Read this
article with an open mind.

You could look at "browstat status", "ipconfig /all", "net config server", and
"net config workstation", from the problem computer and from at least 2 other
computers, and diagnose the problem. Read this article, and linked articles,
and follow instructions precisely (download browstat!):
