I keep getting the error message

" Can't start server".

I click OK or X out and it keeps coming back.

Anyone know how to get rid of this error? I have two
other computers on my network in case that matters.

Thanks

Dale
 
I currently have this problem with p2p networking...

Computer A can share with B and C.
Computers B and C can share with A.

Problem is Computer B cannot share with Computer C, and
vice versa. error = "...network path was not found"

And Internet Computer Sharing does not work, only
Computer A can access the internet.

Configuration is a star, 3 computers connected to a
switch.

I have turned off firewalls, gone through the network
connection wizard a hundred times, manually configured
the ip addresses to 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.2, and
192.168.0.3 with the default gateway 192.168.0.1
(Computer A with dial up/internet access) Sometimes they
ping each other, other times I receive an error
= "request timed out". They are all part of same
workgroup with unique descriptions and names.

What am I missing?
I've gone through the microsoft knowledge base articles a
hundred times with zero results.
