Title: win xp networking trouble
Post by: squalidae on September 27, 2005, 02:43:34 PM
Hello all, I've got an interesting problem in one of the computers at my research lab. We have a multiplataform network with some machines running win 98 and others xp. We can't have all running xp because some of the old ones are PII and will simply not run it. One of the machines running xp develoiped an interesting anomaly that I really can't fix. The machine appears in the network and from it you can access any computer in the lab, however if you try to access that particular machine from any other computer in the network the following message appears "\\Dragon is not accesible. You might not have permission to use this resource. COntact your network admin to find out if you have access permits". It is clear that the network card works fine, other wise the computer would not get on the internet or conect to any of the other computers in the lab. I ran the network wizard in the machine and that did not fix the problem. I even contacted the people at IT services at the university and they simply said "we don't know what it is try buying a new computer" So, does anyone have any ideas?

Hi, I have the same problem, win2k pro server other machines xp home and one machine has the same problem as you describ. I went to user and groups on the server and found that one computer is lock out, I removed the checkmark close users and groups went to that computer and every thing worked fine, but the problem is no resolved because something keeps locking that one computer out. And I have talked too many people without any help. So if I need to use this computer I go and unlock the account in users and groups. I have also ran the network wizard also and did not help. I don't know what it is. Help!
