The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

I have one desktop and one laptop (Dell Latitude X300), both running Windows XP Pro connected on Ethernet via a crossover cable.

They used to be able to see each other and exchange files, but not anymore (maybe after one of those regular Windows security downloaded upgrades).

When I click on view workgroup computers in My network places from the desktop now I get the message Sgworkgroup is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. The list of servers for this workgroup is currently not available.

When I do the same from the laptop, I can see both computers (the desktop and the laptop itself). When I click on the desktop I get a slightly different message: \\Desktop is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. The network path was not found.

Both PCs belong to the same workgroup (named SGWORKGROUP) and they can ping each other.

I have:
-      assigned and logged in with same username and password on both computers (with Administrator rights)
-      shutdown both firewalls (ZoneAlarm)
-      disabled simple file sharing
-      disabled other networks:
o      Both are connected to a Wifi wireless network (to a WiFi access point and then to an Internet gateway): I have tried disabling it on both computers
o      The laptop has a Bluetooth card and a 1394 Firewire connection: both disabled

It seems to be a common problem (judging from a google search); but other solutions dont seem to apply to me.

Can someone help?
Thanks!
