Ok, the story. I have a home network consisting of (2) win98se machines, (1) win2k pro machine, and my laptop running which was dual booting win2k and winxp. Everything worked flawlessly for about 8 months. I decided to remove my dual boot and reinstall winxp pro since I no longer needed win2k. When I reinstalled, downloaded all updates, switched workgroups back to mine and tried to browse my network. I got this message:
"xxxxx is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contace the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
The network path was not found."
I then went into the win2k machine and could see my laptop as well as the others on the network. I could not access my laptop from the win2k machine however. I got the message "the network path was not found."
I then pinged the laptop name from the 2k machine and got full response. I then tried to ping the 2k machine from my laptop using ping nunakim. The laptop sees the address of nuankim)win 2k machine) but does not get any reply from it. Constant time out.
I have been scratching my brain on this one and have even reinstalled the OS on my laptop (3) times. I even tried using a USB nic adapter to see if that was the problem. That didnt resolve anything however.
I can also ping my gateway still from all machines and have internet access through them as well. Even the laptop. I can ping the rest of the world, just not my own workgroup. I have already went in and enabled NetBIOS over TCP/IP on the laptop(winxp pro). And also the registry string for browser management.
I am completely at a loss and cannot understand why I cannot see my network. I have double and triple checked every connection, setting and every other possibility I know of.
If anyone can help, please do so. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Corey Townsend
