I have 4 PC's operating Window's XP Professional.  I used to be able to see
the shared documents folder on any of the computers from any of my other
network computers.  I could also see and connect to the printers on any
computer from any other computer.  Recently, access to one computer ("DEN
Computer") has been eliminated from the other three computers.  The DEN
Computer can access files and printer from all of the other three computers
on the network but the other computers cannot see the DEN Computer.  I can
see the DEN Computer as a computer when I view network computers but I cannot
access it.  Any ideas?

Whe I try to access the Den Computer from one of the other computers on the
network, I get a message that reads: "\\Dencomputer is not accessable. You
might not have permission to use this network resouce. Contact the
administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions."  I
am the administrator on the Dencomputer but I do not know how to look at
permissions on this computer.  I have compared the firewall settings to the
other computers on the network but I cannot discern any differences.  Any
ideas?
