WINXP Network Problem

Hi,
1) are U a corrct member in the domain ?
1.a) Has the computer an account in that domain ?
2) Are ther any firewalls active ?
3) Are U logged on locally instead of using a
domain account ?
Delete your computer from the domain, make
him member of a workroup e.g. "xxx" reboot and try
to join the domain with an domain admin account
and passwort.
These are my first ideas.

Hi Tourney,

Try turning off the XP firewall and if you are using a firwall software make sure your network addresses are allowed access to the network..Good Luck

Network right?

What I've recently found when I needed to reinstall XP Pro was that I needed to delete the network connection and re run the Network Setup Wizard a couple of times before it actually worked and saw all the Window units on the network at one stage I had 3 distinct networks running of the same 24 port hub that where all Windows in nature {Well it was at least different} as different computers could see different groups and there was no overlap which was a bit confusing at first.

Incidental if you are using XP Home it can't be logged onto a Domain so that could be your problem as well.

Are you in a workgroup or a member of a domain?

In a workgroup, you need to be a member of that workgroup. Also, the other computers need to have you as "user" on their computer. Otherwise that message is always going to be there.

I have that problem from time to time and tested it at home on a small peer to peer network. If I delete a user account of one of the other computers, it can no longer access the resources; but can still ping, and see the computers in My Network Places.

Hope that helps.
