Try running the command netsh firewall show state on a computer that has the problem and then one that does not have the problem to see how the results compare. If you get an access denied message to the administrative share that would indicate that you are not a local administrator on the computer or that simple file sharing is enabled. I would also use telnet to try and access TCP port 139 and 445 on a machine that works correctly and one that does not to help determine if it is a network access or other problem. You can use the command telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 39 using the actual IP address of the computer you want to access. If the port is open you will see a blank command window with a blinking cursor like you will see if you run telnet 127.0.0.1 445 on your computer. Portqry is also a tool from Microsoft that allows you to scan network computer for port availability from the command line.

I have a few XP sp2 machines which have the firewall enabled, and file and printer sharing is set to be allowed to pass through the firewall, but it doesn't work (can't run administrative share). Most machines here this configuration works fine. Any suggestions as to why this doesn't work on a select few machines? Thanks.
