Sorry for the delay,
1) You said you have a guest account and a generic account. This generic account
should be user account that is the same on all machines. Open windows explorer,
and go to tools>folder options>view>uncheck use simple file sharing.
2) Switches act as repeaters in a network, they do not need to be configured
*but* if you are using multiple switches, some switches allow you to use the
uplink port but cannot work effectively if you have anything plugged in port 1
at the same time. The minute you do that, you prevent computers from seeing each
other through the switches.
3) Having a computer name the same as a username *might* be a problem, but with
the way networking works, files are located in the following format:
machinename\username\filename. That is it looks for the machinename first, then
passes the username and password, then the filename you're looking for on the
remote machine. Try changing the machine name on one machine first and then see
if the machines are accessible.

Hi Durant The strange situation is that all the conditions you list seem to check out OK: Durand wrote: > Hugo, > > All of the machines have tcp/ip installed? yes > All are in the same workgroup? yes All > have the same user accounts with same username and passwords? there is the guest account + a generic account, but the share does not require logging in with an account. > All have different ip addresses with the same subnet, gateway, dns servers? yes we use static IPs, all are on a 1/4 of a C class subnet, al use the same gateway and the same DNS server. > Are you using a switch or router with straight Ethernet cables and not crossover cables? Yes we are using a switch and there are no cross over cables. The only thing I can thinnk of is that the computer in question is on its own switch in the room it sits as it shares the network access port with a second computer in that room. The other thing that may be a problem is that (under the Irix setup - see original message below) I have a user called "hugo" (me) and a computer called "hugo" also (which is the one which cannot be accessed). Perhaps having a netgroup user as well as computer with the same name gives problems? > If yes to > *all* of these, the computers *should* be accessible to each other by now. > Can you think of anything else? Thanks Hugo
