rvr2k3 Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 I don't know if this an issue with DFI or Windows XP. I just reinstalled Windows XP Home Edition back in Aug. I ran all the updates, etc and everything ran fine. However, two days ago, all of a sudden my home network shares disappeared. I did not change anything in terms of my settings. My PC is set for the correct IP address, subnet, etc. I am not running the nvidia firewall and I am using the Marvel lan. I can still access my file server because it is a mapped drive, but when I go to network places and look under workgroups, it gives me "Workgroup_name is not accessible. You may not have permission to use this network resource". I have three other machines on the network and I can't access them. I am currently only running the crappy windows firewall. I have tried accessing the network with it shutdown, no change. I also use AVG for my AV. I am pulling my hair out over this. I even reinstalled the Drive Image 7 backup image from back in Aug. It lost the network shares also. HELP!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oc newbie Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 A friend of mine was having the same issue awhile back and if I remember right he ended up having to run the network setup on all the computer's in his workgroup again to get it straightened out. Worth a shot if you haven't already tried that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvr2k3 Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 The problem is that I have a tri-OS house. I have two macs, a ubuntu server and nslu2 server. That wizard is useless to me. BTW, I did rerun it on my DFI rig. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oc newbie Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 That's gonna be a fun one to trouble shoot, Since it was working before u might give system restore a shot. For some reason I doubt it will help though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvr2k3 Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 Is the nVidia firewall installed with the nforce driver package? It is listed under programs or services. I do not see it in my system, I am just wondering if I accidently installed it. I can't figure this out and it is driving me nuts.

oc newbie Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 I don't have it listed in either of my machines services so there is a good chance it got installed somehow. Have you tried disabling the service to see if it will let you connect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
