what's gone wrong?running fine for years with file sharing working perfectly. Lately my laptop can no longer access the shared files on my desktop (is tol it does not have permission) and even stranger when I try to look at the workgroup (named 'SLA') in network places under Microsoft Windows Networks from the desktop PC itself, I receive the following error message "SLA is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available" I've tried unsharing and resharing, re-running the network setup wizard, renaming the network, but all to no avail. Oddly, by TiVo can still access the shared music files on the network through the TiVo desktop utility. I'm stumped. I can't think of any changes I've made to any settings that would have precipitated this. Any help? thanks Spencer sounds like computer browser issue. Can you ping each other? If yes, can you net view other computers, for example net view \\ip?

Somehow a firewall setting in MS-OneCare had been changed unbeknownst to me which blocked file-sharing. So my laptop could see the share but not access the files and my TiVo could continue to access because it had an explicit exemption in the firewall's settings.
