s7e Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I have a computer that I stripped down the Windows XP on. The computer has no problem sharing the internet connection, etc. But it has a problem seeing any shared files or anythign over the network. What component did I remove that caused this?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alrichey Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Do you have file and printer sharing enabled on the internal network connection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alrichey Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Are you on XP Service Pack 2? Perhaps you disable this in your firewall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claymore1746 Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Especially in you get a "No Network available" error, the three most common causes of this condition that I know of are:1. Disable Windows Internet Connection Firewall in Control Panel.2. Disable the firewall in your computer (if you're running one) to isolate this as a possible cause (you have to allow traffic to/from the LAN addresses in your network).3. Go to Start => Run and type in services.msc and check that the Computer Browser service is set to Automatic and Started.Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synapse Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 (edited) check to make sure you can ping the other computer and check your ip from the command "ipconfig".also check to make sure you're on the same workgroup as the other computer as this can cause problems as well.
