Hi There Girls and boys,

I get this from a machine running XP Home "no permission
to use network resource" whilst trying to access a PC on
the Workgroup, although when I type
\\"XPPromachine"\"shared folder" in the run box of the XP
Home machine I can access the particular folder and see
its contents. So, I cant access the PC through Workgroup
but can when i directly go to it in Runbox. I can access
everything on the XP Home machine from the XP PRo Machine
though!!!!!!!!! I have looked everywhere for the answer
for this, someone help?

Steve,

Can you actually open files on the XP Pro computer after running
"XPPromachine\SharedFolder"?

Are you running both Client for Microsoft Networks, and File and Printer Sharing
for Microsoft Networks (Local Area Connection - Properties), on each computer?
Do you have shares setup on each?

Are you running NetBIOS Over TCP/IP (Local Area Connection - Properties - TCP/IP
- Properties - Advanced - WINS) on each computer?

Make sure the browser service is running on each computer. Control Panel -
Administrative Tools - Services. Verify that the Computer Browser service shows
with Status = Started.

The Microsoft Browstat program will show us what browsers you have in your
domain / workgroup, at any time.

You can download Browstat from:
<http://www.dynawell.com/reskit/microsoft/win2000/browstat.zip>
<http://rescomp.stanford.edu/staff/manual/rcc/tools/browstat.zip>

Browstat is very small (40K), needs no install, and runs from the command
prompt. Just drop it onto a couple workstations, and run it.

Please provide browstat information for each computer.
Start - Run - "cmd". Type "browstat status >c:\browstat.txt" into the command
window - Open c:\browstat.txt in Notepad, copy and paste into your next post.

For more information about the browser subsystem (very intricate), see:
