"The Network Path was not found"
I have a small home network of two computers running xp home sp2.
When I am viewing my workgroup and I try to connect to one of the other computers i get the following error: "\\computername is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource... The network path was not found." Also, when I use net view I am able to see the other computer on the network but I am unable to ping it. When i ping the other computer i get the following error: "Ping request could not find host..." Thank you in advance, Erik

I am having the same problem. Try to remove the network devices in device
manager, and reboot. Otherwise, I am in the same spot! "Erik" wrote: I have a small home network of two computers running xp home sp2.

"The Network Path was not found"
Are you trying to ping by IP address or by name?
Are there any firewalls installed? Carey "Erik" wrote in message ... I have a small home network of two computers running xp home sp2.

Put the lan IP range in the firewall Exceptions as Trusted. How you do this depends on the firewall.

"The Network Path was not found"
I was trying to ping the computer name.
I am using Windows Firewall that comes with SP2. It is set to allow exceptions "Carey Holzman" wrote: Are you trying to ping by IP address or by name? Are there any firewalls installed?

"The Network Path was not found"
I can sucessfully ping by IP, but not by name. For some reason, the name is
not being resolved. You do not need to run WINS anymore in XP with simple networking, right? I am tapped out of ideas. "Carey Holzman" wrote: What happens if you ping by IP address?

"The Network Path was not found"
Greetings RickInCA,
Unable to ping by name indicates a NetBIOS name failure. Make sure NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled. For more details, see the following link.

Then you have a firewall installed.
Uninstall it. Carey "Erik" wrote in message ... When I ping the IP address it times out. "Carey Holzman" wrote: What happens if you ping by IP address? Carey "Erik" wrote in message ...
