Hello friends!

I have two desktop connected to each other through a switch. When I had initially set up a LAN between then, every thing worked fine. I was able to access files and internet from both computers. Recently I am not able to access files of the other computer although internet is working fine. I reconfigured my LAN settings, but it still wouldnt allow me to access files of other computer. I tried to Ping and it works fine.

Can you guys please help me with this.

Thank you.

did you check the workgroup? i mean the group your pcs belong to?have you configured a server-node or a standalone network?

Its a standalone network and belongs to the same workgroup. I even tried it with firewall off, but no help...

setup ip address such as 192.168.101.101 and so on with gateway as 192.168.101.101 on all machines.it should work fine.
