we have a small LAN here... there's 6 computers, 2x windows xp and 4x windows 98 and everything worked fine.
recently i switched 1 of the computers to xp and added another new xp machine, making 7 in the workgroup in total.
thing is, the xp machines see eachother but can't access eachother. it keeps giving access restrictions etc but i've tried everything from disabling the firewalls to enabling full file sharing etc and i just don't know what to do anymore this is getting really frustrating
i HAVE to be doing something wrong.. back home we have 4 comps, 3xp and 1win2k and everything is perfect but for some reason i can't get it to work here at the office.
some of the comps have xp in english and some in portuguese, but all are SP2 so that shouldn't matter right?
please any suggestions are really appreciated i'm desperate
note: i also get a "duplicate name exists on network" error even though i've changed the names a ton of times and they are all unique...
