I'm trying to network 2 Desktop Computers and a laptop.
I've setup up everything for file and printer sharing. I check the auto
assigned IP address with ipconfig and I can ping all three computers (I'll
call them DESK1, DESK 2 and LAPTOP) in all directions. Everything seems to
be working fine at this level.
When I try to access them through Windows XP, I can access DESK 2 from DESK
1, LAPTOP from DESK 2, DESK 2 from LAPTOP but I can't access either DESK 1
from either DESK 2 or the LAPTOP. I also have a networked backup drive and I
can access this from any of the three computers.
I've tried everything I know and the response I get is "\\DESK1 is not
accessable. YOu might not have permission to use this network resource.
When I go to Network Neighbourhood, all computer are showing when I ask to
"View Network Computers" They are all setup to a MSHOME workgroup.
I would appreciate any suggestions anyone could make.
