I am trying to connect a new computer running XP to an existing workgroup. all my components are similar ex: TCP/IP, Client etc. my desktop can see my new computer, but my new personal can only see himself. firewalls are disabled. when i click on my new computer from the desktop I get an error that reads //new personal is not accessible. you might not have permission to use this network resource, then tell me to contact the administrator for permissions, and the network path was not found.
I’m the administrator, and have full permissions
what can I do?
Answer:
take a look at both personal ip address and try pinging it if you can then go to run and type \\ip address. then it will either show all your shares or give you the error again. i also noticed you have foward slash instead of back slash. if the error comes back the you have to check if you have firewalls up not just the windows firewall, if you’ve a antivirus it might have a firewall and you need to disable it. if it doesnt work let me know I’ll help you.
