From: LURKER on 28 Jan 2010 18:30 Network shares are broken after uninstall of a firewall. I performed the TCP Stack reset (LSPFix). Still broken network. I am now testing with no antivirus and Windows firewall turned off as I try to debug. My network shares are still "not found" by my other home computers. Environmnt: Home network with 4 Windows XP systems behind a Linksys wireless router. The other systems can see each other's shares, but not the shares on the main computer (name = \\king-daddy, fixed ip 192.168.1.xx). Shares include household printers. king-daddy can see the shares on all the other computers. king-daddy has dual boot... the second bootable hard drive is a clone of the primary XP on HD0 P1; just aged a little. I booted from the alternate partition and networking works fine, so I know it is not hardware. Boot back to the primary partition, and networking is broken again. Using BROWSTAT STATUS... Other systems receive code 53 (path not found) when they try to access king-daddy. Is there any other information that might be helpful? How do I approach the problem? lurker |
