ok, first off check the domain names make sure they're all
on the same one, like MSHOME, or The House, or HOUSE, or
something. next, on the machine that you are trying to
access, you may not have set sharing properties on it, so
right click on the C: drive go to Sharing and security,
and then go through the motions, and you should get that
nasty little warning out of the way. hope all goes well
for you, oh and just so you know, I had that exact
problem, I have three comps one on XP pro the others on
2000Pro. couldn't see either comps until I named them
correctly, and set sharing on all.
