I have a cable connection to the internet throught a
cable modem. The cable modem is connected to a wireless
4 port linksys broadband router. I have 2 wireless
notebooks and one other desktop connected to it. The
Internet works great on all computers. But i can't seem
to get file sharing to work. I don't know why either. I
have all computers in the same workgroup. When i try to
go to My Network Places and look at other computers in
the workgroup it gives me this error message : "Mshome is
not accessible. You might not have permission to access
this network resource. Contact administrator of this
server to find out if you have permissions. The list of
servers for this workgroup is currently not available."
I don't understand why that is happenning. I don't think
i have a password on anything. I can't even access other
computers. Can someboyd help me out!!!! I've tried
everything.

.... 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. Network path was not found."

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.
