Unable to Access Workgroup Computer

[mcp6453]

This problem is happening on only one of the XP computers on my
peer-to-peer network. When I "View workgroup computers", all of my
networked computers appear. However, if I double click on most of them,
I get an error: '\\Server 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 network path
was not found."

The problem is not on \\server as it is accessible from any other
computer on the network (so it is not a Server permissions issue, as the
error suggests.) If I Start | Run \\Server, I get the same error. If I
Start | Run \\192.168.1.88 (the corect IP address), I get to the server
and everything works fine.

The problem just started intermittently yesterday. I have replaced the
TCP/IP stack several times, per Microsoft KB articles, and nothing has
changed.

I originally thought the problem was NBT, but since I can see all of the
computers, I think the problem is elsewhere. Help!

What is recorded in the Event Log?

Do you have Norton Internet Security installed (or any third-party
firewall?)

If you ping the "server" by name --> what do you get back?

If you tracert the "server" by name --> what do you get back?

If you ipconfig /all on each of the machines (in an opened command
prompt) --> other than the IP addresses, what is different? All using the
same DNS? All in the same subnet?

Verified all the computers are in the same workgroup? (although that matters
very little most of the time - it could make a difference depending on how
you map things...)

Are all the computers Windows XP Home Edition or Windows XP Professional or
what?
What specifically is the one computer that is acting up?

Have you opened a command prompt and entered:
netsh winsock reset
<Enter>
And rebooted to see if that helps (on the troubled machine.)

Tried:
Start button --> RUN --> netsh diag gui --> OK
and running the tests there?

Matter of fact - have you been through this article?

Is simple file sharing turned on?
