I have a client who has 5 workstations connected with an additional computer for file sharing. The file sharing computer is running on XP Pro while 3 others are running Vista Premium Home and two are running XP home. They can access the shared files after some manipulation.
However, when I leave the site they loose the ability to access the shared files. They continue to have access the the internet and they can all ping the “server”. I have checked all of the wiring, attempted to map the network (which usually results in temporary access) and I have rewired the network. None of these methods are working.
The LAN is NOT set up as workgroup and the client wants the network to be open and simple to use (No log ons or passwords).
I am stumped and really ned some help here. Please someone can you please help me.
Thank you and sorry for my newbie attitude.
