Hello all, i have a situation that has me confused! I
have a windows 2000 domain & client pc's of windows XP. I
also have other pc's connected to the network but not on
the domain. I installed a pc to the domain a few weeks
ago, & neede to share the printer that was connected to
that pc. I had domain & non domain pc's that needed to
connect & they were all winxp. I have done this millions
of times & came across something bizzare...
First, the computers on the domain could not connect.
when try to connect to "\\computername" (or ip address) i
would get this error message "\\COMPUTERNAME IS NOT
ACCESSIBLE. YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE PERMISSION TO USE THIS
RESOURCE. CONTACT THE ADMINISTRATOR OF THIS SERVER TO
FIND OUT IF YOU HAVE ACCESS PERMISSIONS. LOGIN FAILURE:
THE USER HAS NOT BEEN GRANTED THE REQUESTED LOGON TYPE TO
THIS COMPUTER".
I have checked & doublechecked all settings...including
enabling the guest account on that pc, adding the users
locally & giving them admin rights. I have even taken
that pc off of the domain & tried, & still get the
errors. Somehow, this pc is blocking all sharing &
communication from the outside. I have made sure the ICF
was not on also. I have also removed file sharing al
together & reinstalled & still nothing. Is there
something i am missing in this situation? Please help!
thanks.

.... is not accessible

Message: "....is not accessible. You may not have permission to use this
network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if
you have access permissions. Network path was not found."

Resolutions:
1) make sure no any firewall running.
2) make sure you have created the same workgroup, and the same username on
w2k/xp for logging on a remote computer.
3) check user's rights.
4) you may want to enable guest account on w2k/xp.
5) if you are using simple file sharing, you may try to disable it and
re-share the drive manually.
6) if it is mixed OS (win98, NT, ME and W2K/XP) network, enable NetBIOS over
TCP/IP.
7) make sure the Computer Browser service is started if all computers are
w2k/xp.
8) stop Computer Browser service on win9x, ME and NT if this is a mixed OS
network.
9) cache credential by using net use \\computername\share /user:username
command (it is better to have the username logon shared computer).
10) if you have tried enabling netbios over tcp/ip but doesn't work, you may
try to load netbeui (loading netbeui may slow your network).
11) Make sure the server service is running.
12) If you can see the share in Network Neighborhood but not access it, this
issue may be resolved by verifying that both the share permissions and the
NTFS partition permissions are correctly configured for individual user or
group access.
