Hi,

please check also the following KB articles:

"Error message when you try to access a Windows XP-based network computer:
"You might not have permission to use this network resource"
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913628

"Error message when you try to access a network share on a Windows XP-based
computer: "Workgroup is not accessible"
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/915107

You can try also pinging the server or the clinets using the Ip address to
see if there is any response at all.

Hope that will help You also

Kind Regards!

Stoyan
