    Heres the setup:

    2 x windows 2000 professional machines, had been previously on a workgroup with a simple crossover cable. I had to re-install one of the machines OS and after that i havent been able to access either machine....from the other machine

    I went and bought a router for my BB - now, both machines have broadband fine, both machines can ping the router and each other. Both machines can SEE each other in the workgroup.

    I just get "network resource not available" when i try to access each of them.

    I've tried everything from changing the workgroup name to changing the machine names. Ive NO idea whats going on and im getting frustrated :(

    Any ideas?

    TIA :)

    is there anything shared on either computer
    local computer policy might be set to dissallow any access from the network
    is the server service runnin on both

    it sounds like a permissions problem, try loging on as administrator to both machines

    Sorry for the late reply:

    it sounds like a permissions problem, try loging on as administrator to both machines

    Already tried, that doesnt seem to be the problem.

    is there anything shared on either computer

    Yes, i have folders shared on both machines.
    local computer policy might be set to dissallow any access from the network
    is the server service runnin on both

    Which service is this exactly?? When i had it working initially i never had to change anything regarding services :confused:

    Still no luck, but Thanks guys :)
