I have a desktop running XP Pro and two laptops with XP Home. My network was
fine, but suddenly, I couldn't print from either of the laptops. The XP Pro
desktop sees the laptops, but they don't see the desktop. However, internet
access works fine.

When I select My Network Places/Workgroups I am getting the message that it
can't connect to \\domain . . . no permission and then that it can't connect
to the host because there are too many connections. I am way below the ten
available!

I finally turned off IPSEC and the McAfee firewall and got the printer
reinstalled. However, I am still getting the message above when I try to
view any folders that I have shared.

Help!

What do you receive if running net view \\remotepcipaddress?
