Unable to connect to any network drives and printers.

[botakz8888]

Hi any one can help me with my problem.I am unable to connect to any network drives and printers. I used to be able to connect to them. One fine day, all of it stopped working. I even tried to map my own local drive it was still unsuccessful. Whenever i tried to MAP a drive it will prompt me the log on. I know all my password and i did not set any password. i also tried to remove my Norton 360 v2 on my 3 computer totally but still same issue. I have 3 machine. XP Home sp3, XP Home sp3, Vista Home premium sp1. I only had problem connecting my Vista to any of my XP computer. From XP to XP i had no problem sharing.I do not have any problem accessing the internet.I also realize that when this problem started, i was unable to connect to my router console through IE using my vista machine. In Vista i was able to ping all my Computer via their hostnames n ip.My workgroup was also set correctly.

Can't map the Vista itself? What's the result of net share command on Vista?
Also you may try clean boot.
