Network access denied

[club dead]

I am trying to connect my laptop to my home comuter. This connection once
worked fine sharing files and printers. The home computer had a problem and I
did a complete system restore back to factory specs. networked fine for 1
day. shut down over night and now I can no longer access the network. The
home computer will not let me access a network set up on it nor does it show
any of my shared files in my network places. The two computers do share an
internet connection just fine. I have pinged the laptop and everything is
working. I can see the home computer from my laptop but am unable to access
from there either. I need to share my files and printers and have tried
numerous fixes all to no avail.

.... is not accessible

Message: "....is not accessible. You may not have permission to use this
network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if
you have access permissions. Network path was not found."

Resolutions:
1) make sure no any firewall blocks the LAN traffic.
2) make sure you have created the same workgroup, and the same username on
w2k/xp for logging on a remote computer.
3) check user's rights.
4) you may want to enable guest account on w2k/xp.
5) if you are using simple file sharing, you may try to disable it and
re-share the drive manually.
6) if it is mixed OS (win98, NT, ME and W2K/XP) network, enable NetBIOS over
TCP/IP.
7) make sure the Computer Browser service is started if all computers are
w2k/xp.
8) stop Computer Browser service on win9x, ME and NT if this is a mixed OS
network.
9) cache credential by using net use \\computername\share /user:username
command (it is better to have the username logon shared computer).
10) if you have tried enabling netbios over tcp/ip but doesn't work, you may
try to load netbeui (loading netbeui may slow your network).
11) Make sure the server service is running.
12) If you can see the share in Network Neighborhood but not access it, this
issue may be resolved by verifying that both the share permissions and the
NTFS partition permissions are correctly configured for individual user or
group access.
