when using another computer (Vista or XP) I can't access my shared folders,
the only one that seems to work is Shared Docs.

It was working perfectly the other day, I have changed ABSOLUTELY nothing
and now I keep getting this message. Please Help/
 
Nick,

Is the firewall on the machine where the shares folders are?

Are you on XP Home or Pro

Are they mapped drives?

Need more info, please
 
It's XP Media Center; the windows firewall is turned off and I don't have
another firewall in place of it.

No, the drives are not mapped.
I tried a system restore already but surprisingly that did not fix my problem.
 
OMG! I fixed it.
Somehow the "Simple File Sharing" (in folder options) check box had been
unchecked.
I'm so glad I figured this out as I use SFS everyday.

Thanks for the help anyways ;)
