I Have a workgroup network running at home with four computers on it.
(2) XP Pro
(1) XP Home
and (1) Unix based Snap Server
Recently on one of the XP pro computers all workgroup computers dropped off
window for view workgroup computers. I can still ping all other computers
on the network.
From other XP Pro machine I can See all network computers including the XP
Pro that lost connectivity. If I try to access the first XP Pro machine I
get an error back :
"\\Computer1 not Accessible. You might not have permisssions to use this
network resource. Contact Net admin . . The network path was not found"
I have TCP/IP installed and configured DHCP on all machines and network
connections connected through LAN side of Symantec Firewall Hardware - all
on same network and subnet
Microsoft Client and file share installed
All machines configured Netbios over TCP/IP
Tried adding NetBEUI protocol - did not work
Tried adding NWLink Netbios and it worked for awhile now doesn't seem to
work.
No DNS, WINS, or Nameserver
Workgroup name is identical on all machines.
I have a shortcut on my desktop by IP address to XP(2) from XP(1) that works
fine.
Why can't windows see the other computers? Does anyone have any ideas that
may help?
