Hello: I have 2 pc's with xp sp2 on a dlink624 wireless /sbc dsl, Kaspersky
antivirus/personal anti hacker - which came with SysMech6. I setup workgroup
'msoffice' & encrypted my connection. They both can connect to internet and
comp2 can ping, view & access files, incl printer on comp1 but comp1 cannot
access comp2 at all. I rec error that I have no admin rights to comp2 -but I
set them both up!- Also I cannot ping comp2 and when i try to 'find' comp2
from the Run line using its ip or name I get err 'Path not found'.  I made
sure ports 137-8-9,145 are open, that its netbios over tcp, i turned off
kaspersky firewalls, I'm only kind of sure about dlink setup - as both pc's
can access the net. 1 major thing: I cannot turn on Windows Firewall in
comp2. I've tried restart. netsh [sp] from run line with parameters.. the
error is 'can't start ics - file not found' .. I can't find any 'new' ideas
or answers for this, I sure hope someone can help me .. Thanks so much

A name resolution problem - "path not found" et al - is pretty basic.  It's your
computer, but keep an open mind.
# Physical networking issue.  Unlikely since you say both have Internet
connectivity.

# Node Type is key to name resolution.  Check with "ipconfig /all".

# NetBT setting?  You say you checked that.

# Personal firewall or other security component.  Several possibilities there.

# LSP / Winsock corruption.  This is last, because it demands the most
persistence.
