When i search for a particular computer,it says the path
cant be found but I can use another computer on the same
network to find that same particular computer. Does anyone
know what could be stopping this computer from detecting
another one?
 
Maxwell,

This could be a large number of issues. Please read the following article
which should help you to resolve your issue:
308007 Troubleshooting Home Networking in Windows XP

I would probably start by checking to see if you have name resolution to
the other machines that you are trying to contact by pinging the client's
machine name. This is one of the steps in the above article.
