XP Home Network Problem

by sdfg - 6/27/04 9:18 PM

I'm having a problem accessing one of the computers on my home network. I have 3 computers linked up all with XP Pro. The network is working fine except for one thing... I can't log into one of the computers (lets call it X). I can access files to and from any of the computers EXCEPT for X... I can only access other computers FROM X, but can never access X from the other computers. The other computers can see the shared folders on X, but can't gain access to them.

When I try to log in to X, the Username field is greyed out so I can not try different users and the default (Guest) doesn't work.

Any ideas!? I am completely stumped! Cheers happy

Thanks for your help, but I have tried disabling all firewalls but it doesn't change anything!

I do have IIS running on computer X but I have tried disabling that to no avail either. (IIS is set up as a private server currently, not public.)

Thanks for those Cetin I'll have a look through and see if anything in them helps.

If anyone else has any ideas as to the specific reason please let me know. I don't really want to reinstall everything and start from scratch only to find out that I have missed some silly little thing!!!

Cheers happy
