Here's the details of my issue:
I am using a broadband modem router to connect my three PCs (all running XP Pro) and internet.
I can:
- access the internet on the three PCs (namely PC_A, PC_B & PC_C);
- see all three computers in the same Workgroup;
- access the printers on PC_A from PC_B & PC_C
But I can't access the PC_A's shared folder from PC_B & PC_C, keep having an error message about not having permission to access the folder, to complicate the matter, I can access the PC_B's shared folder from PC_A.
I've checked:
- Computer name of each PC is ok;
- Workgroup of each PC is ok;
- IP addresses of each PC is ok;
- Network communication is ok, I can ping each PC by its IP address;
- Printer & File Sharing service is running on each PC;
- All PCs are using XP Simple File Sharing;
- Guest account on each PC is active, checked by "net user guest" &
- I have turned off the Zonealarm on each PC.
Any help is appreciated.
