Hi - I have a home network comprising 4 PCs connected using a Netgear router all running XP Home. All have network file sharing enabled. PC 4 can access the shared folders on PCs 1, 2 and 3, but PCs 1, 2 and 3 cannot access the shared folders on PC 4.

PCs 1, 2 and 3 can all see PC 4 but when I double click on the icon in Network Places Workgroup I get the message 'PC 4 is not accessible. You might not have permission..................................... Access is denied.'

I've disabled PC4's Windows Firewall and the Avast Anti-Virus, but this makes no difference. I can't see any obvious running processes that might cause the problem they all seem pretty standard.

I'm not aware of any changes that I've made to the set-up that might cause the problem, but its my daughter's PC so she may have done something without realising it.

Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks - Dave

make sure that all usernames on the network are local users on the machine in question. if you want to be able to do anything of importance on said machine i would make them power users.
