Problem finding computer on a network

Filed under:hznp.com — admin @ January 9, 2009 edit
  • I have recently successfully added a computer to my wireless network only to have it now appear as unavailable to me. When I go to My Network Places, the computer in question appears in the list with a + beside its name. When I click on the +, the + goes away, but I don't see the drive that is supposed to be shared or any folders. When I double click on the computer name, I get a message saying that \name of computer\xxx is not accessible and that I might not have permission to access the computer. I haven't changed any settings on the computer to be networked that I know of. Please suggest a trouble-shooting sequence to find a solution to bringing the computer back on the network.


  • What version of Windows are you using? Also, with the computer you connected to the network, can you access the other computers? Thanks.


  • I'm using XP on a computer I'll call the "new" computer. The "old" computer is running Win 98. It is the Old computer that I could not access from the new computer. I have just finished downloading system upgrades from Microsoft and now find that the Old computer is accessible! Again, I made no changes of any settings. This is a mystery to me, but right now, not a problem. I'd be interested in suggestions for the future as there seems to be an intermittent problem here.
