Hi,
i currently have this setup: 2 computers connected by ethernet cable to the router, and one laptop connected wirelessly.
For some reason, today one of my computers is inaccessible, while it was working perfectly fine and normal yesterday.
The computer that is inaccessible is "MAIN". I have pinged its internal ip address of 192.168.0.100 from the other PC and recieved a response. I have also setup the home network through XP, and restarted both PC's numerous times, however it is still unable to work.
The "MAIN" PC shows up under "workgroup" computers, on the PC that is trying to access it. However, when you try to look at the files, you recieve the following
"\\Main 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.
Access is denied."
Even though previously, i never required the same account that is trying ot access the PC to be present on the "MAIN" pc, i created one anyway, with the same username and password, and still recieve nothing.
It is worth mentioning that the other PC, is able to connect to my laptop fine, and visa versa. On The "MAIN" Pc, i am able to access the other PC.
The following is the ipconfig /all of my "MAIN" Pc.
Code:

Help in this matter would be greatly appreciated, all my printers etc. are connected to my "MAIN" PC, and i really need it to be accessible.
Thankyou.
Edit: Sorry its also worth mentioning, ALL Firewalls are switched off and disabled on my "MAIN" pc.
