Laptop does not allow access.

[John MacDonald]

I have a small network at home.

Once networked in a workgroup each computer can see the others. I have a
desktop (1) and two laptops (lets call them computers 2 and 3). Laptop 2 is
a HP machine and Laptop 3 is a toshiba. Brand has nothing to do with the
problem.

Laptop 2 shows up on the network neighborhood directories of the others,
but, when the other computers try to access laptop they get the following
message.

"\\jmlaptop is not accessible.
The network path was not found.

When I ping the laptop I get it just fine and Laptop #2 can access both of
the other coputers just fine.

I think I have fixed this before by reinstalling tcp/ip drivers.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Hello John,

Are all machines in the same workgroup?

Hello Meinolf:

The machines are Windows 2000. Both have the same workgroup.
If I delete the tcp/ip protocol and reinstall it is ok for the session.
