Server can not see/access PC on the network

[Guest]

Hi all -

I'm running Small Business Server 2003 with Window 2003 Server. I have a mix
of Win 2000 Pro & XP Pro PCs on my network. All of the Win 2000 Pro seems to
be working just fine. Some of the XP Pro PCs is causing some problem. From
the sever machine I can't access some of the the XP computers, but the XP
computes are able to access the sever fine. When I tried from the server I
keep getting this error message:

"\\computername is not access able. You might not have permission to use
this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out
if you have access permissions.
The network path was not found
"

Also on my XP Pro computers I keep getting error W32TIME.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks,

Ed

Ed,

With XP, the Windows Firewall is always a good candidate for this problem.

Also, check for a browser conflict.

If no help yet, diagnose the problem.
