Solve : error 53 & 6118?

Answer»

Hi on a small 3 machine network (2 winxp pro, 1 msdos 6) in a remote office the primary xp2 PC power supplied FAIL. Upon delivering the new PC with the same name and workgroup I'm unable to connect to the share created on the xp from the dos pc.
From the net config I can confirm the workgroup name though when I attempt to map the share net use x: \\pcname\sharename I receive an error 53 the computer name specified in the net path can not be located. When I attempt net view I get returned error 6118 The LIST of servers for this workgroup is not available.
Any help would be appreciated.XP Firewall blocking?

Disable firewall if safe to do so and test with firewall disabled.Thanks Dave, XP Firewall is disabled. set netbios\tcpip, changed from default, created an lmhost file, confirmed net\system.ini workgroup
Hi, This issue has become a MUTE point, looking further in the issues finding a variety of other pieces of equipment failures potenially related to power, surge? lightning? Time the remote office updated, the last 486.
Thanks for the consideration.
