File sharing problems

[Adam]

Hi!
I cannot view my shared folders and disks in my network
places. In explorer I can see a hand below the right
folder and disk but i still cannot see them in network.
In my LAN connection proporties I have installed "File
and printer Sharing" , TCP/IP protocol and MS Networks
client are there as well! What to do, please help me!??!

Adam,

Can you see them from another computer?

Make sure the browser service is running. Control Panel - Administrative Tools
- Services. Verify that the Computer Browser service is started.

The Microsoft Browstat program will show us what browsers you have in your
domain / workgroup, at any time.

You can download Browstat from:
<http://www.dynawell.com/reskit/microsoft/win2000/browstat.zip>

Browstat is very small (40K), needs no install, and runs from the command
prompt. Just drop it onto a couple workstations, and run it.

Cheers,
Chuck
Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.

try disabling the windows XP firewall
go to control panel, network connections, right click
connections then click properties, then click the
advanced tab then click ok
