Solve : Network 3 computers one won't accsess the others?

Answer»

Hi,
I have 3 computers.
Computer 1
Intel Celeron 2.4gz
2 gb ram
Wired to the NETWORK
Windows Xp Home


Computer 2
Windows Xp media center 2002
1.0ghz intel p3
1gb ram
wireless

Computer 3
Windows Vista 64bit
2.2ghz amd phenom quad
6gb ram
wireless or wired

The two xp computers can not access the other computers in the network all the TIME. But the vista can access them. Most of the time when I click on view workgroup computers. I get this error message:

Bighome is not accessible. You might have no PERMISSION to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of the SERVER to find out if you have access permissions. No more connections can be made to this remote computer at this time there are already as many connects as the computer can accept.

I am not sure if it has something to do with my router or not. I have the linksys wrt160n. I have disabled all firewalls and anti virus and still the same problem. I have vista password SHARING off. Any other Ideas on how to fix this?Obviously there is something missing or crosswired.
You should not have these problems. Why don't you start over.

I would reset the Router to Factory Settings, and follow the Start-up procedures.

Then on the XP boxes I would follow step by step the instructions:

"Set up a wireless network for a home or small office"

and

"add a networkplace"

That should solve the problem.I have reset my network like 3 times. I have now found out that as soon as the vista computer comes into the picture, the whole network stops working. I think it has something to do with vista's added security.
