I put this in this and another forum but wasn't successful in solving my problem yet. I am copying the whole discussion
" I have a Compaq Presario 2100 laptop running xp home and I have 3 other pcs on xp home on a linksys wired router. I can ping by name and by ip address. The laptop can access all pcs and view files on them. But the other 3 pcs can't access the laptop. They can see the name but can't access. All are not firewalled and the laptop has folders being shared. By the way 2 weeks ago all was fine. But there was a problem pinging. The network did work while pinging was not right. Which leads me to believe that something i downloaded changed something and now is blocking access. Also I have a program called 3m post-it notes (office). and 2 weeks ago it wouldn't work. Thats when networking was fine. I went on vacation and came back and plugged my laptop in. Thats when my problem started. I reset the router and the dsl modem. Also I uninstalled norton internet security. And that fixed the post-it problem but not the networking one
I've tried a few things concerning the registry and ad and spyware. Another thought after tcp/ip version 6 was installed it caused a yellow flag (that will be my next project) in device manager when i uninstall it the flag goes away. Could that have caused my problem by leaving something there to block access

In addition to Norton Internet Security, are you using Norton Antivirus?
advised in one case where un install of NAV (after un install of NIS) wa
necessary to get file sharing working
You also might consider installing NIS again, activating it, then eithe
configuring it or un installing it. If NIS was un installed while disabled, i
might not have un installed properly
If this is a wired network, I recommend you install and activate NIS, the
configure it properly with your subnet defined in the Local / Trusted Zone. I
necessary, you then need to open ports TCP 139, 445 and UDP 137, 138, 445 fo
Local Zone only
IPV6 is another challenge. I'd definitely un install that until file sharing i
working

Chuck,
Thanks for responding Chuck. Yes I had NAV installed
And I tried everything you had said and nothing worked
I even took Norton security and Anti Virus completel
out and it still doesn't work

OK, let's try some diagnosis
Please provide ipconfig information for each computer.
Start - Run - "cmd". Type "ipconfig /all >c:\ipconfig.txt" into the comman
window - Open c:\ipconfig.txt in Notepad, copy and paste into your next post
Identify each ipconfig with OS name and version
From each computer, verify connectivity
1) Ping the other by name
2) Ping the other by ip address
3) Ping itself by name
4) Ping itself by ip address
5) Ping 127.0.0.1
6) Ping the router
Report success / failure of each of 12 pings
Did you follow all of Symantec un install procedures? Did you try r
installing, enabling, and configuring as specified
Cheers

Racsan,
Which is the problem laptop? Jerrys, Racsan, Sines? Do you have shares setup
on all laptops?
What error do you get when you "can see the name but can't access"?
Cheers,
Chuck
Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.
Chuck,
Racsan is the Laptop PC that only the name can be seen. All other PC's are desktops.
Yes I am sharing one folder on the laptop and its not under c its under a different drive.
Laptop firewall is shut off. The error I get is "\\Racsan is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this resource. Contact the administrator of the server to find out if you have access permission. Access is denied.
Racsan
Racsan,
What firewall is on Racsan? Was that NIS? Did you shut it off, or did you un
install it? Did you un install it while it was shut off? Try re installing
then configuring it.
Check your Guest password on all computers - make it identical and non-blank.
Cheers,
Chuck

Chuck,
There is no firewall on Racsan. I had NIS in and had it configured still no luck left it on and uninstalled it still no luck.
As far as the Guest goes if you mean in control panel users. All PC's in network have Guest shut off. And before I wrote this to you I turned Racsan's on and still no luck.
Racsan
Racsan,
Did you use the Symantec un install tools for removing NAV and NIS?
On the chance that you did download something that damaged your network
software, download and try LSP-Fix and WinsockXPFIx from
<http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm>;.
I did myself install IPv6 on one of my computers; I ended up removing it (don't
remember why), but as I recall it un installed with no after effects.
Try swapping router ports (and network cables) with another computer.
Checkout your pinging ability. Get Ping Plotter (free) from
http://www.pingplotter.com/. Install it on the problem computer, and on one of
the others. Make them ping each other.
See if the static route tables offer any clue. Please provide static route
tables for the problem computer, and for one of the others.
Start - Run - "cmd". Type "route print >c:\route.txt" into the command window -
Open c:\route.txt in Notepad, copy and paste into your next post.
