Hi,
I have a WinXP Pc (PC name = Temp) configured with static ip and a member in
workgroup.
I sharing out few folders from it. When I try to access this PC from other
location, it prompted me error:

"Temp 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
permission. Access is denied."

I tried to uninstall and reinstall back the file and printer sharing
permission in TCP/IP but not working.
Anyone can guide how to overcome this?

Thanks in advance.

The error "not accessible...access denied" can have several causes.

First, check for misconfigured / overlooked firewalls, and for registry setting
restrictanonymous, on each computer.

If no help yet, look closely at "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all" from each
computer. Read this article, and linked articles, and follow instructions
precisely:

Thanks Chuck.
I upgraded the machine to Service Pack 2. I went thru your article and
followed your guide by using "netsh winsock reset catalog"
to repair the LSP/winsock layer and it works!

Thanks again!
