SP2 - NETWORK CONNECTION

[Anthony904]

Hi,

I just installed windows XP sp2 yesterday and the installation went fine. I havent had much time to look around yet but there was one thing that I noticed. I cannot view other computers on my network.

I have mapped drives to my other computers and when i click on them its telling me I do not have permissions: access denied.

I tried disabling XP's new firewalls, checked if my file and print sharing is on (it was), viewed my network groups and the other computers were not on there. I establishing a new network configuration with the wizard, but it tells me that it wasnt able to create one.

Has anyone encounter this problem? If so, did you fix it?
Could anyone help me with this problem

Thanks

It does sound a bit like a firewall problem, this link will give you a good guide to the new firewall settings.

Some programs seem to stop working after you install Windows XP Service Pack 2

There is always the Winsock fix to try.
