This was done, and the computer was given the same computer name and put on the same workgroup.Now the formatted computer, lets call it PC1 can see all the shares onthe rest of the network, but nobody can see the shares on PC1 (I did recreate them - its mainly just the My Doc folder) So I manually added the shares on the other PC's from within My Network Places > Add Network Place. That worked. Now the only problem really seems to be that if I go to another PC, say PC2, and try to browse the workgroup (via View Workgroup Computers) I can see PC1, but when I click on it I get something to the effect of "Cannot view \\PC1 .....access denied" Now I checked that I have go File and Printer Sharing Installed, and the other thing the MS KB article said to do was to make sure netbios over TCP/IP was enabled and it is.I am wondering if its something to do with Local Security Policy or Shared Folder Setup in computer management? So to summarise, I can PING, and I can connect to SMB shares, but cantbrowse the formatted PC, PC1, in the list of computers in WORKGROUP.
Please help,
Cheers
