Hey

I seem to be having trouble accessing a workgroup computer on our LAN, when I try, it tells me that

\\xxxx is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the admin... etc, The network path was not found.

I can't see what I need to do to enable this, NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled on both machines, as is the Computer Browser service, and no firewalls are up.
Help!
 
Can you access the machine by IP?

Can you ping it? By IP and Hostname?

Are they both within the same domain/workgroup?

Are they both in the same subnet?

Can you see them in Network Places/Network Neighbourhood?

If XP, have you turned off simple file sharing?
