File Sharing

[Kawipoo]

I need help I have tried everything. I have two computers on a home
network. Both computer are are on the same network. Both computers can see
the other computer. One computer (/computer 1)can gain access to all shared
files on the other computer (computer 2). Computer 2 can not access the
shared computers on Computer 1. Both computer are set up with the same user
and password with admin privledges. Shared files on both computers are
configured with everybody having full access. I have tried turning off the
firewall on both machines with no success. I have also reran the network
setup on both machines twice. I have uninstalled the microsoft file and
printer sharing and reinstalled it to make sure it was not corrupt. Any
ideas on what additional items I can do? Thanks!

Time to run some diagnostic commands. Do this on PC2:
- Click Start / Run
- Type cmd {OK}
- Type these commands:
ping "PC2"
net use x: \\"PC2"\"SomeShare"

Replace the words between quotes with the actual names,
then report what you see.

When I ping computer 2 it comes back that all packets were received and none
lost.
When I type the second command it gives system error 67 the network name
can not be found.

I tried running the diagnostic command on pc2. It worked fine with both
commands. When I replaced the commands with pc1 the first command worked
find but the second command came back with an error 67 that the network was
no longer available.

No try these commands:

ping "PC2"
net use x: \\"IP"\"SomeShare"

where "IP" is the IP address of PC2, e.g. 192.168.0.55.

Note that it is not sufficient to turn off some third-party
firewalls, e.g. ZoneAlarm. You must uninstall them to
render them ineffective.

Same results as the typing in the computer name. I have also uninstalled
zone alarm with the same results.
