My emptiness of my network places, but the networking seems fine

So, I'm having a bit of a problem that seems to have an impact on all computers on my home network (XP pro x 64 SP2, XP Home SP2, XP Home SP3, XP Pro SP3). Everything worked fine for a year, or while I was at home and then all of a sudden, in recent days, this problem has hit. I can't connect directly to one of the shared folders on my network through my network places. There are more all shared folders showing up there. I try to search the network for shared folders manually by opening the entire network-> Microsoft Windows network (slower than normal here to find my task force, WORKING group)-> WORKING group. Once I try to open my workgroup, he waits a while and then I get the error: "the Working Group is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. The list of servers of this working group is not currently available. ". Note that all of my PC of in this working group.
Internet works fine on all computers, and I can access any shared drives I have been mapped (or enter the path network in Run and open it) and can ping other computers on the network, so I don't think that there is no problem with the network card, and it happens on different computers with different network cards 4 so it is hard to believe that everything has been corrupted somehow. The only thing I can think is that I have automatic updates turned on and maybe MS has released an update that caused this problem.

Has anyone seen/heard something like that? Any ideas what could be the cause or how to fix this? Measures to try? This isn't a critical issue, as I said I can still access shared folders, just map them or something, it's just frustrating that something that used to work find just stopped, suddenly, with no good reason and everything I can think told still seems to be fine...

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply.  I would in fact already found this page through previous research and tried some of the suggestions out there on several of my computers (no luck).  However, the problem is that this page is for lack of network connections and is not really my problem.  My network connections appears fine, it's just the shared network folders that do not appear in "my network places".  I can still access it directly (mapping the path to a file, or enter the path in 'Run'), but I don't have the ability to browse the network more.

I just wanted to point that the issue seems to have resolved itself, on all computers.  No idea what caused it or what fixed it, but it's that everything works well again.  Thank you Jack for trying to help!

    Auto rigging is really slow on the Mixamo website. I rarely a rigging generate smoothly since Mixamo has been acquired by Adobe. I always use 1.3 fuse.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 best has come out very low but the printer works fine.

    I was always able to make great copies.  The quality of the document that I copy is excellent and I've copied before.  Now everything I copy is very low and cannot be read.  The printer works without any problem.

    Hey 1265yankee,

    I see that you have a problem of quality of the copy with your Officejet Pro 8500 (A910) a model-all-in-one.  Have you tried to reset the printer hard and ensured that the device is connected to a wall outlet directly?

    • Unplug the printer while on
    • Unplug the other end of the power cord from the wall jack directly
    • Wait 30 to 60 seconds
    • Plug the unit back to

    Also, take a look at the steps in the document found here.  The document is not directly applicable in the present case, but the steps are the same for your question.

    Let me know how it goes.  If this does not solve your problem, then I have the steps to perform a factory reset on this product to see if an internal reset will be able to get the device to work as expected.

  • WRT54GS do not "see" modem, but the two seem to work fine.

    Router: WRT54GS V7

    OS: Win XP

    Router was fine since it was installed (months; can't remember how much).  Had to reboot a couple of times, but not a big deal.  Today, he suddenly decided that he can no longer see my DSL modem.  All of the lights on the modem; all necessary lights are on the router, but they can't talk to each other for some reason any.

    When I connect the modem directly to the computer, the internet is fine.  When I hang in the router, LELA tells me that he has no internet connection.  Troubleshooting has followed to the letter, no luck.  Tried the instructions to set up a DSL connection (where you change 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.2.1), but it was a mess.  Reset the router, no change.

    I'm not a geek, so I don't know where to go from here.  Can anyone help?

    Thanks for your solution.  I had actually done everything several times without success.  I had reconnected a lot more quickly as I rec'd an answer here (don't mean to be in a bad mood, just it is the reality of what I do), so I contacted the Linksys customer service and it turned off don't not to be a hardware problem at all; I downloaded the latest version of LELA and everything, it was fixed.

    In any case, thank you for taking the time to answer and for your help.
