I have a small nework in my home using a linksys wireless network. I have
followed all network wizards on all computers. I can see all computers in my
network places from all computers in the house. But i cannot access ANY of
them to file or print share. I have file and print sharing enabled and also
simple file sharing. I have tried to share the printer/files using the
proper share method and i cannot see it from any of the other computers. I
also get the error message when i try to access another computer on the
network......\\compuername is not accessible. 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 nework path was not found. This
problem is driving me crazy. From the searches this problem is fairly wide
spread. Help please!!!!! Thanks.

Dave,

There are many possible reasons for "not accessible...path not found", from
physical to logical. You really need to diagnose your problem a bit. Here is
my troubleshooting guide. Read this article with an open mind.

We can work with you, if you can provide "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all"
from each computer. Read this article, and linked articles, and follow
instructions precisely (download browstat!):
