Hi,
I have a small home network with AD installed on a W2K server and 3 PCs networked. I have shared all the computers. All users and computers are registered in AD and they all use the server for DHCP and DNS and access internet via forwarders.
My problem is that I can access the server files and folders from the other PCs but I cannot access the PCs from the server. Nor can I access between PCs. After a while, a message pops up saying I don not have permission to access the resource.
I must have omitted a step in the AD installation
Can anyone help?
thanks
DT

Hi all,
Posting a late reply, infact, a very old one, but this issue can irritate someone else as well. Probable troubleshooting steps are:
Method 1: Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP and start the Computer Browser service
1). Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP:
Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Network and Internet Connections.
Click Network Connections.
Right-click Local Area Connection, and then click Properties.
Click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and then click Properties.
Click the General tab, and then click Advanced.
Click the WINS tab.
Under NetBIOS setting, click Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP, and then click OK two times.
Click Close to close the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box.
Close the Network Connections window.
2: Start the Computer Browser service
Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Manage.
Double-click Services and Applications.
Double-click Services.
On the right side, right-click Computer Browser, and then click Start.
Close the Computer Management window.
Method 2: Install File and Print Sharing and make sure that it is not blocked by Windows Firewall
1: Install File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks
Click Start, click Run, type ncpa.cpl, and then click OK.
Right-click Local Area Connection, and then click Properties.
Click the General tab, and then click Install.
Click Service, and then click Add.
In the Network Service list, click File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks, and then click OK.
Click Close.
2: Make sure that File and Printer Sharing is not blocked by Windows Firewall
Click Start, click Run, type firewall.cpl, and then click OK.
On the General tab, make sure that the Don't allow exceptions check box is not selected.
Click the Exceptions tab.
On the Exceptions tab, make sure that the File and Printer Sharing check box is selected, and then click OK.
Hope this could help someone out.
Thank you
