Problem accessing shared drive on network

Kelli....I have this same problem, too. File sharing and printing have been
checked and double checked. It even goes as far as showing the computer name
on the my networks window, even though it refuses to map the 2 together.
The SP2 update obviously unmapped the computers. I have disabled the
firewall with no luck and my next task will be to uninstall SP2 as
everything worked prior to that update. Do you have any other solutions?

I solved my problem, btw....it was the anti virus software firewall that
prevented the computer from seeing others on the network, so it was
disabled. A router firewall is the first line of defense along with the win
xp firewall, so, to avoid conflicts, I had to disable the anti virus
firewall and I am now a happy camper. Hopefuly it solves someone elses
problem too

Larry, glad you got it working. What antivirus program were you using?
