Dear all

Currently i have a problem. I cannot access my workgroup.
It prompt a message

"Info is not accessible. You might not have permission to
use this network resource. Contact the administrator of
this server to find out if you have permissions. The
specified server cannot perform the requested operation."

But previously this not been happen. It happen when I
update a service pact and the new windows critical flaw
hot fix. I didn't check all the machine I updated. I not
sure whether all machine affected or some.

I need your advice and solution.

.... is not accessible

Message: "....is not accessible. You may not have permission to use this
network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if
you have access permissions. The semaphore timeout period has expired."

Resolutions:
1) make sure no any firewall running.
2) make sure you have created the same workgroup, and the same username on
w2k/xp for logging on a remote computer.
3) check user's rights.
4) you may want to enable guest account on w2k/xp.
5) if you are using simple file sharing, you may try to disable it and
re-share the drive manually.
6) if it is mixed OS (win98, NT, ME and W2K/XP) network, enable NetBIOS over
TCP/IP.
7) make sure the Computer Browser service is started if all computers are
w2k/xp.
8) stop Computer Browser service on win9x, ME and NT if this is a mixed OS
network.
9) cache credential by using net use \\computername\share /user:username
command (it is better to have the username logon shared computer).
10) if you have tried enabling netbios over tcp/ip but doesn't work, you may
try to load netbeui (loading netbeui may slow your network).
11) Make sure the server service is running.
12) If you can see the share in Network Neighborhood but not access it, this
issue may be resolved by verifying that both the share permissions and the
NTFS partition permissions are correctly configured for individual user or
group access.

I have run into this. The way I got around is to drop

from the workgroup -- join another "workgroup" and then
rejoin the original workgroup.
