Network Path Not Found?

I have a Vista machine and 2 XPs on the same network. The Vista machine sees
the others but doesn't connect. Error report is "Network Path Not Found".
I've tried Network Magic and it sees the other systems but trying to connect
doesn't work and neither does mapping the drive. Occasionally the thing
works but it's never stable. What a mess. What is happening here?

Rick,

Start by looking at the NetBT setting, and all personal firewalls, on all
computers, together.

Then look at "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all", from each computer, and
diagnose the problem. Read this article, and linked articles, and follow
instructions precisely (download browstat!):
