My Network Places Problem

8400 Views 3 Replies 2 Participants Last post by  johnwill
I am connected to a university network in my room and by going to 'My Network Places' and clicking on 'View Workgroup Computers' i should be able to see all the other computers on this section of the network (ie. in my college) and their shared folders. I was able to breifly a couple of days ago and the shared folders i accessed in that time were then shown in 'My Network Places'. However, now all the viewed folders have disappeared from 'My Network Places' and when i click on 'View Workgroup Computers' it says it is not accessible. I thought this might be something to do with restrictions put upon the network but i have tried from other computers on the network and they seem to be able to access the shared folders on other computers fine. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!:)

Thanks, i think i've fixed it now though. This morning when i booted my computer up it said that there was another computer on the network with the same name as mine which it hadn't said previously. So i just changed my computer's name and it seems to be working fine now :smile:
