E
el Diablo
Hello,
I have a laptop that the hard drive died in yesterday. I have an old hard
drive (two years old) from the laptop that has the OS loaded and all my
programs. I had replaced it with a larger drive and put it away for a
backup.
Anyway, since I've put it back in I can't access the WORKGROUP on the
network. There are two other PC's an my home network, one runs Windows 2000,
the other runs Windows XP Pro, as well the laptop runs Windows XP Pro.
All networking worked fine before the hard drive crashed. The drive I put
back in used to access these two PC's as well.
I looked on Microsoft's site at article 318030 which told me to make sure
these two items were set this way:
Step 1: Turn on NetBIOS over TCP/IP
Step 2: Start the Computer Browser service
They are set correctly. The two other PC's can see each other just fine,
they see the laptop but can't access it.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Brian
