Problem w/ file and printer sharing for Win XP SP2

[Guest]

I am using a Linksys BEFVP41 ver. 2 router. I am networking 3 PCs using Win
XP Pro SP2. I already had this network up and running for quite a while using
SP2, so I am quite sure this has nothing to do with that. What happened was
that I accidentally reset my router, and now only the DSL connection work. I
cannot share my files nor printers. When I view workgroup computers and click
on one of the other PC's, I get the error message: "\\backroom_workst is not
accessible. Contact the adminitrator of this server to find out if you have
access permissions. The network path was not found." Any help is greatly
appreciated. Thanks in advance. Andrew

Andrew,

it seems that the problem is caused by the router, not by
Windows XP. You are in the wrong newsgroup.

I recommend to ask the manufacturer of your router.
