Windows Forum / Windows XP / Networking and Web / October 2005workgroup computer not accessible
No one can access another computer on our network. I've checked it and everything looks ok. I also followed the steps in Q318030/KnowledgeBase. Nothing works! The error message we get are:\\Computer Name is not accessible. "You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact Administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions." I'm responsible for the computer and as far as I can tell there are no permissions set??? Any ideas you might have would be greatly appreciated. > No one can access another computer on our network.

The first thing to look for is an improperly configured firewall on the computer itself. Make sure you don't have two firewalls running such as a third-party firewall, something like Norton Internet Worm Protection, and the Windows Firewall (Service Pack 2).

Any other places you can think of where permission might be restricted? > > No one can access another computer on our network.

And you don't have an "Internet Worm Protection" feature from your antivirus? Since I don't know what combination of operating systems you are using, and if only XP whether Home or Pro, here is a link to an excellent network troubleshooter by MVP Hans-Georg Michna: http://www.michna.com/kb/wxnet.htm Take the time to go through it and it will pinpoint the problem area(s).
