I recently updated a PC from Windows 2000 to XP. It is on a LAN with peer to
peer networking. Since updating this PC, I can acces one of the other PCs
but not the 3rd. I can no longer see the shared files on that PC nor can I
log into it when I double click it's icon in the workgroup. I can however
see the files if I boot this upgraded PC in safe mode. In safe mode, I am
logging in as the administrator. Prior to the upgrade, all work on this PC
was done under the administrator account(not smart, but I didn't know
better.) I have added new accounts after the upgrade and it is from these
accounts that I am trying and failing to find the shared files on the 3rd PC.
Given that it works in safe mode, I don't suspect a firewall or file sharing
problem, right. Any suggestions on where to look?

Ed,

One of the most common causes of this problem would be a misconfigured or
overlooked personal firewall, but there are other possibilities too.

http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/1...isibility.html

If no help yet, provide "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all" from each
computer, so we can diagnose the problem. Read this article, and linked
articles, and follow instructions precisely:

Chuck,
What follows are the results of the “browstat status� and “ipconfig/all�
commands for the 3 computers on my network.
My complements on your excellent procedures. I relied heavily upon them to
obtain the data.
All 3 computers are running Windows XP Ver 2002 with Service Pack 2. The
network began as a 2 PC network, Frontoffice and Backoffice, each running
Windows 2000. The 3rd PC, President was added via a wireless link. This was
a new PC with Windows XP SP2 out of the box. Full bidirectional file and
print sharing worked between all of the PCs.
Backoffice was first updated to XP followed some time later by Frontoffice.
Bidirectional file and print sharing work between Backoffice and Frontoffice.
However, from Frontoffice and Backoffice, the shared files on President are
not available in “My Network Places� and neither can log into President even
though there are accounts on it for each of them. President can however
access both Frontoffice and Backoffice.
I suspect that bidirectional sharing between Backoffice and President broke
at the time that it was updated but I can’t remember testing it.
To the best of my ability, I have configured the firewalls correctly. In
fact, I have tried turning them off and the symptoms have not changed. Each
PC runs Norton anti-virus and Frontoffice has Norton Internet Security
package. I have disabled the firewall in this package.
I also checked “restrictanonymous� on each PC. It was zero on Frontoffice
and Backoffice and [value not set] on President. I set it to 0 there and
rebooted the 3 PCs with no change.
The wireless link does not seem to have an impact because I have replaced it
with a long cable over desks and around corners.
Thanks in advance for your help. I hope that this pinpoints the problem.

Ed,

Well, to start, turning firewalls off is not always the best solution. Either
un install them, totally, using procedures supplied by the vendor, or configure
them properly.
<http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/your-personal-firewall-can-either-help.html>
http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/0...ther-help.html

Now, if your computer runs Norton Antivirus, check the anti-worm protection.
That includes a component that affects file sharing, similar to a firewall.

Finally, let's enumerate the symptoms. Take the following code (everything
inside the "#####"). (Please verify computer names and ip addresses).

1. Open Notepad. Ensure that Format - Word Wrap is not checked. Highlight
then Copy the code (Ctrl-C), precisely as it is presented, and Paste (Ctrl-V)
into Notepad. Verify, and correct, names and addresses if necessary.
2. Save the Notepad file as "cdiag.cmd", as type "All Files", into the root
folder "C:\".
3. Run it by Start - Run - "c:\cdiag".
4. Wait patiently.
5. When Notepad opens up displaying c:\cdiag.txt, first check Format and
ensure that Word Wrap is NOT checked! Then, copy the entire contents (Ctrl-A
Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V) into your next post.

Do this from all computers, please, with all computers powered up and online.
