One of those days!:mad:
Fax machine packed up and now my main hdd also died on me.
I used Hiren's boot cd to boot the pc into mini XP mode. I'm trying to access my other lan pc's. All the pc's are detected and I can also connect to internet.

Now like Firefox says when it can't open a web page page:"Now this is embarrassing":o
When I try to access the workgroup pc's, an error message is displayed:
"\\***** is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the Administrator..."

I have shared some drives on the Hiren pc and more than enough time has elapsed to detect and read all shares.

Help pls?
 
are the other PC's in a domain?
your username on the mini XP could be blocked out, or the same as the other network PC's but the password is not the same.

If you share a folder on one of the other PC's and set security & share permissions to FULL for EVERYONE, you'll be able to see that folder.
