Hello, I have 2 Windows XP workstations connected to a hub,from worstation 1 in my network places I can see workstation 1&2, but when I try to access workstation 2 it tells me that the network path was not found??? what does this means??
it also says that I might not have enough privillage to access that resorce!
I'm sharing the HDD on both workstations.
Now on workstation 2, I can only see workstation 2, and not workstation 1???

what am I missing ?
Thanks!

Under XP, make sure you have editied the gpedit.msc setting to allow zero-length passwords (if you aren't using passwords). Also make sure that both machines' network mask are identical. Finally, make sure that users are set up identically on both machines.
