Network difficultiesI have a wired network (D-Link DI-604) with 2 PCs and a laptop. All
running Avast Anti-Virus and Windows Firewall. All are Windows XP SP2 and all are connected to MSHOME and all can access the internet and all can access the router. The 2 PCs can connect to each other and browse each other's files but the laptop does not notice either and cannot connect to either of them. When I click "view workgroup computers" on laptop I get a message that reads "Mshome is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource...The list of servers for this workgroup is not available". When I click on the share of one of my PCs on my laptop I get this message: \\computername\c is not accessible. you might not have access to this network resource...the network path was not found. I don't have any special firewalls running either (BTW any good firewalls that will not impede networks?). Please help me, I've been struggling with this problem for a while. Thanks Munkeyjunkey

There is one exception here - the SMB transport directly hosted over IP which Windows 2000 and XP support. You need to start with NetBT explicitly Enabled on all computers. Once that is done, if you don't have an improvement in Browstat, then you have personal firewalls blocking the SMBs. Whether or not you "removed" Zone Alarm (and did you follow the detailed removal instructions from Zone Labs? Now you've run browstat on 2 computers, but not posted the results, so I have to guess. You say the PC shows "Browsing is NOT active on domain". Does the other computer (which you don't name) show that the browser shows that it's running there? What else does it show? Try posting the complete suite of diagnostics, for each computer, so we can see. <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/06/background-information-useful-in.html> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/06/background-information-useful-in.html -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.
