[Guest]

thanks to chuck for helping me earlier, but still 1 more problem, 3 computers
on a network xp home before i could not see 1 computer in my network places
turned off computer browser on 1 computer , now i can see all 3 computers but
on one computer when i double click in my network places view workgroup
computers it keeps telling me i might not have access to this network check
with the admin to see if i have permission and the network path is not found.
i do have norton antivirus but i have set everything in it for file/printer
sharing. and if have turnd off all the firewalls. is there something i am
missing.

well as soon as i wrote this i think i fixed it. not only do you have to go
into norton to modify the file/printer sharing but it seems you also have to
go into home netwoking and add the modem/router to the trusted area. so many
things to remember so little time.
thanks chuck

I have been having the same problem. I just got a second computer, and both
desktops are running XP Pro, SP2, and I have a router. My newest computer
can see the other computer but when I try to access it it tells me that
'...may not be accessible, check with admin, may not have permissions for
this network resource...'
I have tried everything I can think of to remedy this, including turning off
firewalls on both computers. I also checked the system log and found that
the ip address of the new computer was denied by the network. I tried
releasing and renew all ip addresses (I am running them on obtain an IP
automatically) and the router is the DHCP software. I know that the IP
addresses are unique on each computer, but when I ran the troubleshooter it
said that one or more computer may have the same ip address. I am at a
complete standstill and am lost! Can someone please help???
Thank you so much -
Rhonda

Brian,

That's a detail that I need to remember, for the next time. Thanks for the
feedback.

Rhonda,

That's a very common problem, and can have various causes.

Could you please start a new thread, so it's easier to find? The above
statement, plus a set of IPConfigs for the two computers, is a good start.

Provide ipconfig information for each computer.
Start - Run - "cmd" - Type "ipconfig /all >c:\ipconfig.txt" into the command
window. Open Notepad, make sure that Format - Word Wrap is NOT checked!, open
file c:\ipconfig.txt, copy and paste entire contents into your next post.
