I am stumped. I'm trying to network two Dell XP machines together. Computer "A" can see Computer "B" and access it's files, but Computer "B" can only see Computer "A" under "View workgroup computers". When I try to access Computer "A" files from Computer "B" I get the error message: " \\ Computer "A" is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource
'The network path was not found
Both computers have their IP addresses set manually. I can ping A to B but not B to A
Any ideas anyone
Thank
Randy
 
I had a similar problem and it turned out that ZoneAlarm would not let the computers communicate. When I turned it off on both computers they were fine. Hope this helps.
