August 31, 200620 yr We have a Win 2003 server as a PDC. It has 12 domain members, mixed Win 2k, Win XP. One of the XP machines can't browse to one of the other XP machines (which has a shared printer it needs). It can browse to all the other machines. It was recently installed and just joined the network. The server has not been rebooted since the join, but both the new machine and the target machine have been rebooted.The error messages are NOT helpful.
August 31, 200620 yr Have you added the new computers in the AD? Are they in the same IP range and have the same subnet mask?
August 31, 200620 yr There are absolutely no Event messages occuring ?- Check network with ping utility, test from client to server and from client to target.- Check if you can resolve hostnames NETBIOS/DNS maybe the problem lies in one of the above ..Hope it helps,

If not the firewall on the shared printer system may be enabled.The error messages are NOT helpful.Error messages are always helpful What messages are you getting?
September 2, 200619 yr Author I have not checked the event log.The computer replaced one with the same name that was in the domain. It had no problems joining the domain. Obivously it is well connected as it has no problem sharing with the other computers, both ways, in the domain, just not one particular one. So ping works and it has an appropriate IP address.The error messages are the same as if the target were powered off:\\admin is not accessibleThe network path was not found
