home networking problem

by soonfantasy . Updated 19 years, 1 month ago

Hello all,

I’m having some home network problems and could use some advice (and a stiff drink). Here’s what’s going on:

My home network is assigned a workgroup name of ?MSHOME? and an IP range of 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.120. i am using a linksys wrt54g

shared folders are shared among each computers on the MSHOME workgroup which can be seen and accessed by all the computers — except my WinXP Pro desktop

All machines but my desktop can see the shared drive, the shared printer, and the networked printer.

Each PC can ping another machine on the network. Even my problematic desktop can ping the other machines — including the router/gateway — but it cant access the mapped drive on the fie server, the shared printer on the file server or the networked printer.

i am cracking my head over and over again. can some1 out there help me out. really appreciated. thanks.
