Problem in the network

[omargpe]

Hi, I try to put a workstation, with XP pro, in a workgroup called CCM_Oficinas. And everything is ok when I add it, but when I try to get access to the shared folders in the others workstations the next messagge appears:

You don't have access to CCM_Oficinas. You don't have access to use this source in the network, contact your administrator to get access. The list of servers in this workgroup is not available at this moment.

But I can see all the workstations in the workgroup and I can ping the IP's of the other ws.

What could be the problem???

Thanks,
Omargpe

1. Same workgroup name (use all Capital letters for safety), unique Computer Name.
2. No firewall issues, including the native ICF XP firewall; third-party firewalls; and "hidden" firewalls in antivirus programs (PC-Illan for example);
3. All usernames and passwords synchronized at all machines: Username and passwords (exactly) on Computer A
made usernames with passwords (exactly) on Computer B, C , etc. Or, use the default "Simple File Sharing" and enable the Guest account on all machines;
4. Something: drive, Folder, printer, something shared on all machines. But something
5. For all machines, under TCP/IP Properties for the Network Connection, Advanced, WINS tab, disable 'use LMHOSTS' and check to 'enable Netbios over TCP/IP'

bcastner (or) anyone that can help,
I have a question can you help me with the format of writing the path that I am setting up when networking Win98 with WinXP (\\??\\)?. I printed my instructions but this information did not print.

Additionally, where in my winXP can I varify the information that I need to enter into this path that I am creating?
