It indicates you need to post the exact content of any error or
notification messages before you can be helped.

That *is* the exact content. The <whatever> is just a particular folder
that's supposed to be shared.

It actually said, "etc. etc." ?

I thought what I posted would be enough to indicate the issue.

The word for word message is:

\\mine\SharedDoc 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 network path was not found.

Any ideas how to deal with this?

Thanks

Try searching here:  http://www.chicagotech.net/

or here:

http://support.microsoft.com/search/?adv=1

Look in the Event Log for any errors that may accompany the on screen
error, then search or post these errors here.  What is "<whatever>"?  Is
it a user name? A Computer name?  An IP address?

John John,
I have the same problem and I tried the sites you indicated without success.
Here is the total message:

Mshome 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 looked at all the event logs and don't see an error for this. Which log
file should it be in?
My setup is this: I have 7 computers running XP Home. Each has an operating
system on C and D drives. All work okay execpt for one. On this the C drive
accesses the network properly. On one the C drive works but the D drive
doesn't. It does access the Internet. So... the wiring etc. should be okay.
In trying your sites:
I check NetBIOS setting and I have default checked which is NetBIOS over
TCP/IP.
I checked HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa and it was
set to 0.

About the only thing I noticed that was different and may not be of value is:
A difference I noticed is on C drive, which works, under Entire Network I see
Microsoft Windows Network.
On D drive, which doesn’t work, under Entire Network I also see
Microsoft Terminal Services
Web Client Network.

I changed the Computer name and workgroup name but the result didn't change.
What I find strange is I also cannot access my shared drives on this machine.

This was all working fine a week ago and I can't think of anything I changed
that would break it.

Any help would be appreciated.
Don

Search on:

  "The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available"

It sounds like you have a Browser/Master Broswer problem.  Make sure
that the Computer Browser Service is started.

Look for errors in the System Log.

Don,

Your type of problem is most frequently caused by a misconfigured or overlooked
personal 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

If NetBT is set to Default, you SHOULD change that.
<http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/04/netbios-over-tcpip.html>
http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/04/netbios-over-tcpip.html

Or we could look at "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all", from the problem
computer and TWO other computers, and diagnose the problem.  Read this article,
and linked articles, and follow instructions precisely (download browstat!):

Chuck,
I didn't visit any of the sites you indicated. I did however check my
Windows Live OneCare and checked my Advanced firewall settings. Sharing files
and folders was set to "Do not share files and folders." Also my Antispyware
was turned off. I haven't a clue how it got that way but my problem is fixed.
With Millions of lines of code, I am amazed Windows works at all. It
actually works quite nicely. Without guys like you and a site like this, most
of us would be dead. Thanks for being brilliant.

Don,

If I was a betting man, I'd put some money on Wanker^h^h^h^h^h^h OneCare as the
problem.  Thanks for the feedback.

By event log, I guess you mean the event viewer, yes? Some examples of
errors over the last couple of days:

Under System:

Source - Service Control Manager  Event - 7000
Source - Service Control Manager  Event - 7032
Source -  TCPIP                           Event - 4198
Source - IPNATHLP                      Event - 31008
Source - Server                            Event -  2505
Source - MrxSmb                         Event -  8003

Under Application:

Source - Application Error              Category (100)   Event - 1000

It was just a substitute for the actual folder name since I was sitting
at a different computer when I posted it.

Have you tried this IRPStack Size registry edit? It´s worked for me more
than once.

    It indicates exactly what it says.  Contact your network administrator
to be granted access to the file(s) in question.
