xp - lan problem

My computer running XP shows up in the Network Neigborhood of my other computers (running NT or 98), but when I try to access it I get the error 'The network path was not found'. If I ping its IP address, it's ok. If I swap the driver of the network adapter (either by Roll Back or Update Driver), the problem goes away, but returns when I re-boot. Any ideas?

 

Hello,
Do you have any shares on the XP box?

 

hi hi pls remove the lan card and all protocols and again reinstall it then try it again.

 

Yes, I do have shares.

I have already deleted and re-installed the device, but the problem persists.

 

Hello,
I think its a password issue. What I would do is set all the usernames and passwords the same and see what happens.
Good Luck

 

Did you get anything to work. I can't even see it on other computers. I get the same error message also. The weird thing is that I have DSL hooked to my server and then out to my workstations and I can access the internet with the XP machine but I can't share server files. I have XP Home Edition. I'm at wits end and about ready to format C: and install Win 98.

I finally got it to work by removing the driver AND protocols, and re-booting (it then re-installs itself).
