Home network accesspower chute, had interference with Norton Antivirus during shutdown etc. However, when this occurred, I then found I could not access either of the other computers from Network places/entire network/MS network/Home, getting and error such as "not authorized to access Home......", although I could use "find computer" and then access shared files on each computer. I had not made any networking changes. All three computers still showed Home as group name. I could ping each computer. Since unloading power chute, I can now access the Home workgroup without the above error, but can only access the W98 computer via Home, but not the XP. Again, I can find it and access files on the XP using "find computer" but not Network places..... I All devices ping ok... what should I try next? Thanks, Bob -- bob S Bob:
I find Network Places a bit quirky. My workaround is manually "add a network place", which I can usually find browsing for it, which is the same you're searching for it. The downside of this is when the system figured things out, sometimes after 24 hours, I have duplicate entries in Network places. Better yet, for folders I frquently use on the other computer, I map it as a "network drive", so I don't have to wait for that "flashlight" on Network places to stop.

Read this article, and linked articles, and follow instructions precisely (download browstat!): <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/troubleshooting-network-neighborhood.html#AskingForHelp> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/troubleshooting-network-neighborhood.html#AskingForHelp I'd bet Norton Antivirus (or the antiworm component) is at the heart of the problem. Why it didn't happen (if it didn't) until after you installed APC is a good question. <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/your-personal-firewall-can-either-help.html> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/your-personal-firewall-can-either-help.html -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.
