I have a network that has both wired and wireless machines, w2k pro on them. They all behave fine on the network. They can see the internet, see each other, can exchange files. There is one laptop with XP Pro. It can see the network, can ping server successfully. When you double click another computer in the network it will tell you that you don't have permission to access (business name) network. Right now all the machines are running guest accounts until we get the bugs out so a password or permission problem shouldn't be messing us up. Any ideas?
