There are a million things possible, as you probably tried. Some thoughts:
1. Users access shared folders - not computers. Does every user see the
same symptoms? What if you are logged in as Administrator?
2. Are you getting password requests when you try this?
3. Do all the computers show up in your Microsoft Network?
John -
Always logged in as administrator. No password requests (but I disabled
password logins for the computers).
When I open Windows Explorer to Network on #1 (Vista), it shows all the
computers. When I click to access #2, I get a box warning, "Windows
cannot access \\Computer2" and below, "Error code 0x80070005 Access is
denied"
Doing the same from Computer #2 also shows all computers on the network,
allowing access to only Public folders on Computer #1.
As mentioned, all folders on a third computer on the network are freely
accessible to both of these.
I have run Norton and Kapersky, could this be a virus? One internet
posting mentioned a virus that has the effect of 'increasing security'
by blocking access.
Where do I look for those log files, and what do I look for in them?
