Vista PC can't access it's own shared folders.
I am trying to organize the File and Printer Sharing on my home network, but
I have one stubborn Vista PC (PC1) that can't access any of the network shared folders, or even it's own. From PC1: - Double-clicking on the PC1 icon in Network displays a "\\PC1 is not accessible" error - Typing \\PC1 (or 192.168.x.x) into IE or Run gives the same error - Clicking on "show me all the shared network folders on this computer" does nothing... the point turns into circle for a few seconds... but then nothing happens. PC1 is running Vista Home edition - Network Discovery is ON - File and Printer Sharing is ON - All computers are in the same WORKGROUP - Password access is OFF - Windows Firewall only (no Third Party Firewalls) Please help me access my own shared folders from the computer that is sharing them.

Do you receive any error if you use "net share" command in the Vista?

access via desktop.

Did you replace the vista IP with vistaipaddress? If yes, it could be the
firewall issue. -- Bob Lin, MS-MVP, MCSE & CNE Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to Setup Windows, Network, VPN & Remote Access on http://www.HowToNetworking.com "rexamillian" wrote in message ...

Yeah... I replaced vistaipaddress with 192.168.2.9, but no success. I've also
tried with the firewall down... but still the same problem. "Robert L. (MS-MVP)" wrote: Did you replace the vista IP with vistaipaddress?

Try one more thing. Stat the Vista with safe mode. Please post back with the
result. -- Bob Lin, MS-MVP, MCSE & CNE Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to Setup Windows, Network, VPN & Remote Access on http://www.HowToNetworking.com "rexamillian" wrote in message ...

Hi,
I'm having exactly the same problems. I tried everything you said in this thread and got exactly the same results. I also tried safe mode together with net use, and got this as a result: System error 67 has occurred. The network name cannot be found. I also can't see any other computers, no matter if it's wired or wireless, via a router/hub or directly connected. "Robert L. (MS-MVP)" wrote: Try one more thing. Stat the Vista with safe mode.
