I have a wired home network with 6 computers attached. Recently one computer has refused to share its folders, having previously done so with no problems. It will connect to internet fine through router and will view intranet pages on other networked computers, but does not even acknowledge computers in same workgroup on network neighborhood, will not open other computers on the network in either the format “\\ComputerName” or “\\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx”. Most surprisingly it does not even acknowledge itself in network neighborhood and when I try to access it through “\\ComputerName” it displays the shared folders, but gives a denied message when I try to open them. This also occurs if I attempt to access this computer or its shared folder from any of the other computers
Could it be that a service is not running that should be?
Very grateful for any help….
