Hey guys,
I'm having trouble accessing my folders that i share from one computer to another networked computer.

the workgroups are the same and it usually works until maybe a week or two ago.

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Are they networked by Windows XP? There is a known problem concerning the reliability of the connection. Restablishing the network connection or restarting usually solves this.
So Check the network connections and see if the Network is Running?

Hey guys,

Wanna say thanks for your help.

The problem was the cables not connected properly.

Thanks.

That's happened to me before... too many possibilities for what's causing it (firewall, new IP?, my router, etc...) but I haven't had any problems in a while now. Can't really offer any advice but when it used to happen I'd just restart all my PC's.

And LOL @ cable not connected properly. It's funny how it's usually the humans at fault!

well when trouble-shooting networking problems, it's the first thing to do.
