Please Hekp - Unable To map computer

[Jim]

I must have done this 100 times but cannot figure out why my laptop
hard drive are not visible on network (Machine has XP on it). I have
tried everything

Guest account on and activated (no password)
Uninstalled Zone alarm
Temporarily shut off windows firewall
Drive share set on
Able to ping computer by both ip address and name

On other computers I go into my network place and laptop is not
visible. If I do a search (Start/Search) and search computer it finds
the computer but when I double click it the computer it shows not
content Any ideas

Laptop can see other computers on network
if i do a net view \\laptop from other computers I get a system error
51

if i do a net view \\laptop from laptop it works

Computer browser service are on and running

And Yes windows firewall is off And yes I di a complete Virus scan


Finally it worked a while ago and when I do a system restore to that
point I go through the whole procees and it I get a message that the
system cannot be retored to that point

Any help aprreciated

Only error I found was
