Why can only one computer not access my shared files?
I cannot access the files shared by "computer a" on "computer b" in the network. The "computer b" that cannot access the files is able to access all of the files shared by all of the other computers. Every computer, with the exception of "computer b", can access the files shared by "computer a." The setup for the net work is very simple with only 2 routers. All of the computers are on the same workgroup. Both computers "a" and "b" are also running XP Home. I cannot figure out why "computer b" cannot access "computer a's" files! I've tried everything I can think of.1 person needs an answerI do too

Please let me know, both coputer is pinging (ping <computer name or IP address> on command prompt or RUN box) to each other? Did you try NETSETUP command? Start/Run type netsetup and click on ok Perform above steps on both computers and go through on screen steps. Please reply if you still face problem.K M JHA Technical Support Executive (INDIA)

The network is already set up and the computers are reaching each other. Still having the problem; it just started recently. "Computer A" can access files on "Computer B," but suddenly "Computer B" cannot access files on "Computer A." All other computers in the network can access "Computer A's" files with no problem, and "Computer B" can access files on any other computer but "Computer A."

I would really appreciate if you please let me know, you are using Domain or Workgroup environment?K M JHA Technical Support Executive (INDIA)

No. We just cannot see the shared files on Computer A from Computer B. From any other computer, we can see the shared files just fine.
