Can't Access Device on LAN
Thats fine if you don't want to assist any more but don't say " Since you
apparently don't want to follow any of the advice that would give you a completely working network" I have just spent 6 hours going through all of your instructions including automatic login which made no nense why I needed that. Thanks for your time but don't say I didn't follow your advice. Also you made no mention of Hans-Georg's troubleshooter so I still have no idea what that is. "Malke" wrote: Ron wrote: What I meant was passwords did not match and user name did not match but they all had ADMIN authority. It doesn't matter whether their user accounts are Computer Administrators. They need to match and they need to exist on the machine hosting the shared resources. I turned off firewall completely on the problem XP machine. Now I can access the machine. This means that in addition to the possible problem with the user accounts, your firewall is misconfigured and/or you are inadvertently running two firewalls on that machine. But when I try to add its printer to a laptop, I can now see the printer but when I try to add, I get message 'Windows cannot connect to printer. Access Denied'. Already answered. I moved the printer to shared docs but it did not help. As expected. Please either go through the detailed troubleshooting I already gave you or take the time to go through Hans-Georg's troubleshooter. The alternative is to have a competent local computer tech come on-site and do the things listed in my troubleshooter for you. I really don't have anything to add to what I've already told you. Since you apparently don't want to follow any of the advice that would give you a completely working network, EOT for me. Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!

Can't Access Device on LAN
Hi
We can provide info and a way to find the trouble, in reality there are numerous amount of checking in the Sharing/Security/Permission system of the OS. It enough that in one spot there a check missing (or extra check) and the sharing will not work. Unfortunately since we do not sit in front of your computer we can Not check the details and find the point that you probably miss (some time it takes me long time and repeat attempts until I find on my own systems the culprit). So in general, successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings, http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what it is allowed to be Shared.
