Enabling Access Permissions for Networking
Equipment: Two towers, one laptop, home wireless network behind a linksys router. All computers are running Windows XP Home Ed SP3; all have McAfee installed. I have set up a network (behind the router) and using "View Workgroup Compters" I can see all computers from all computers. I have enabled sharing on at the top (C-drive) level of all computers. I am an adminstrator for all computers.The Problem: When I double click on either of the compter icons for computers other than the one I am on, I get a pop-up window indicating the computer "..is not accessible. You might not have permission...." I searched MS and found and ran "http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;318030", but that didn't fix the problem. What should I try next?1 person got this answerI do too

Two gold stars! The last item, the one you didn't think would do much, did the trick. I ran the Mr. Fix It that was embedded in the article you linked and then everything worked fine. You're awesome, I never would have figured all of this out. Again, thanks for hanging in there!

Wow. Totally unexpected. There were no indications there was a problem here. You are perhaps only the 2nd person I've ever heard of benefiting from that article. Thank you very much for hanging in there down to the dregs at the bottom of my barrel. This group is a hard group to earn points from. ;-)Congratulations, JW
