One machine inaccessible
One of my computers has suddenly become unaccessible to the network.
Laptop #1 XP SP2 Laptop #2 Vista Home Premium Laptop #3 Windows 7 Home Premium Desktop #1 Windows 7 Enterprise Desktop #2 XP SP 2 All connected and working previously - suddenly the XP Desktop says "MSHOME is not available. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions." when I click My Network Places. Then it says (never seen this one before): "No more connections can be made to this remote computer at this time because there are already as many connections as the computer can accept." Don't know what to make of that. I've recycled power to the router and modem and rebooted. Router config page shows one entry for each machine except desktop #1 shows two entries. Turned off all firewalls and can ping each machine from each machine. Installed Windows updates. What should I do? Thanks, Rip

One machine inaccessible
I am not sure all of these are one issue. Let us focus on "not accessible"
first. If you run net view command on the XP desktop, do you receive "MSHOME is not available" message? If yes, check if the computer browser service is running and make sure NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled. Also, are all computers in the same workgroup name MSHOME?. -- Bob Lin, Microsoft-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 "RipperT @nOsPaM.nEt" RiPpErT wrote in message ...

Assuming you get "MSHOME is not available" message when click MSHOHE in XP
Desktop, run "net view" (only). If you don't receive any errors, go back to My Network Places, click MSHOME again. Also posting the result of ipconfig /all on the xp desktop may help. -- Bob Lin, Microsoft-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 "RipperT @nOsPaM.nEt" RiPpErT wrote in message ...

Net view does not produce any errors. When I click My Network Places on all
the machines, all the workgroup computers appear, and I can view all the shares on each, except the XP desktop. On that one, noen of the shares will open (except the printers), giving an error like "\\machinename\desktop is not available. You might not have permissions..." All of these shares were previously available. thanks again, Rip "Bob Lin (MS-MVP)" wrote in message ...

Hi
When configured on peer-to-peer Network.Win 7 has three types of Sharing configurations. Home Network = Works only between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration makes it very easy to Entry Level Users to start Network sharing. Work Network = Basically similar to the previous methods of sharing that let you control what, how, and to whom folders would be shared with. Public Sharing = Public Network (like Internet cafe) to reduce security risks. The Work Network is the one that most of us are going (and need) to use. Win 7 Work Network's Sharing settings are in principle similar to Vista's configuration (some menu in locations in Win 7 might be in different place, and look a little different, but it should not be a problem for a compute to adopt) So, maybe this can Help. Make sure that the Software Firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall On, Vista/XP Native Firewall should be Off, and the active Firewall has to adjusted to your Network IP numbers on what is some time called the Trusted Zone (consult your 3rd Party Firewall instructions. General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trustet Windows 7 Work Network, http://www.onecomputerguy.com/window...s7_sharing.htm Vista File and Printer Sharing- http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../bb727037.aspx Windows XP File Sharing - http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;304040 Printer Sharing XP - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u...utt_july2.mspx Windows Native Firewall setting for Sharing XP - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/875357 Windows XP patch for Sharing with Vista (Not need for XP-SP3) - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922120 When finished with the setting of the system it is advisable to Reboot all the hardware including Router and all computers involved.
