I have a small lan, two win2k machines and one XP pro
machine. All sharing internet via the XP pro machine ICS,
working fine. Two win2k machine have some shared folders,
they show up. However, the shared folders of the XP
machine do not show up. The machine itself is visible
in "computers near me" but clicking it gives error "<name>
not accessible. The network path was not found". Any
hints ?

Thanks !
 
Greetings John,

Do you have any firewalls running? If so, remove them while troubleshooting. Disable XP's firewall on local area networks. It's only intended for direct connections to the Internet.
