Win XP SP2 computer won't connect to local network, or print to network printers.

Asked by jbuzzard in Windows XP Operating System, Printers & Scanners

Hi,

Clients old computer had a hard drive failure last week. Replaced the drive, installed windows SP2. The computer can connect to the server, and transfer files easily; however, it cannot see any network computers (network is running through a router). It is on the same "workgroup", but as soon as I try to 'view workgroup computers', I receive an error stating "workgroup is not accessible, you may not have permission to access this workgroup" etc.

I need to be able to access the workgroup so I can connect through to the network printer. The router doesn't run a firewall, but the computer does (Kaspersky). I have the same problem when I disable Kaspersky.
