I just did a hard re-install of XP Pro on 2 computers. PC A has a file that is set up as shared. PC B needs to access PC A, but I cannot see PC A from PC B. I can see other computers through the Network, but not this one. What can be blocking this network connection? I have Symantec Endpoint on PC B and disabled any blocking command it had. I have Win Secure Essentials on PC A and cannot find any blocking commands. The message I keep getting on PC B when I go to Run and attempt to locate it there is: The path cannot be found, or I might not have permissions. Both pc's are set for Admin Privileges. I also tried to access PC A from a different computer (other than PC B), but I received the same message.1 person needs an answerI do too
