We're trying to get my Dad's new machine (running XP Home) up and running, and seem to have hit a problem with local network shares. Other computers can access the folders and printers designated 'shared' on the new machine, but it can't see any other machines on the network. An attempt to list computers in the workgroup, either with 'net view' in DOS, or with the My Network Places window, fails with "System Error 1: Incorrect Function". The only query to not return this error was 'net view \\dadsdell' (dadsdell is the name of the machine having the problem). We've disabled the Windows firewall and the McAffee firewall (both part of the default Dell installation) in an attempt to remove variables, but the problem persists.
In brief, the problem: All machines on the network can see the machine's shares. The machine can see no shares other than its own.
If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.
