XP machine does not show file shares in network

Hello. I"m trying to setup networking on windows xp pro. when I set up a file share, I cannot see it on the network. Do have a domain only a workgroup. Netbios over TCP/IP is enabled. When try to view from remote machine using net share ... get system 67 error.

Any help appreciated !!

Try turning off the firewall? This error is a generic no access error.
Here's a link for another workaround

But also I cannot the share using the IP address of the machine. I get a network path not found. by example command is below in windows map network drive:

\\192.168.1.2\test2

test2 is shared with everyone..
Is the firewall disabled?

yes. firewall is disabled..
Can you get out to any of the other computers with 192.168.1.2? You may want to check your cable connection.
