Problem Networking Xp Pro & XP Home#1 wireless XP Pro #2 wired XP Home into a workgroup I have called marknet. The XP Home machine can access files on the XP Pro. But the XP Pro machine can not access anything on the XP Home machine. When I try to add a network place on XP Pro, I get the following error: "Marknet is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this netowrk resource. Contact the administrator of tihs server to find out if you have access permissions. The network path was not found" Also note that both firewalls are temporarily turned off when I try this Any assistance would be appreciated (I heard rumors that XP Pro & Home are notorious for having network problems and there might be a patch I could download somewhere?) On XP home:
Did you make sure to check the box: “Share this folder on the network†& “Allow network users to change my files†Show quoteHide quote "Marconius" wrote: > I have 2 computers I am attempting to Network: > > #1 wireless XP Pro > #2 wired XP Home > > into a workgroup I have called marknet. > > The XP Home machine can access files on the XP Pro.

Your problem, though, is name resolution ("... network path was not found"). <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/06/mysterious-error-53-aka-name-not-found.html> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/06/mysterious-error-53-aka-name-not-found.html What firewall is "turned off"? Many personal firewalls don't react properly when "turned off". And make sure that you haven't overlooked a firewall or other security component. <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/10/irregularities-in-workgroup-visibility.html> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/10/irregularities-in-workgroup-visibility.html And make sure that NetBT is Enabled on both computers. <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/04/netbios-over-tcpip.html> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/04/netbios-over-tcpip.html And we can look at "browstat status", "ipconfig /all", "net config server", and "net config workstation", from each computer, and maybe diagnose the problem. Read this article, and linked articles, and follow instructions precisely (download browstat!): <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/troubleshooting-network-neighborhood.html#AskingForHelp> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/troubleshooting-network-neighborhood.html#AskingForHelp -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.
