One way network

I have two WinXP Home machine A and B, which were networking wireless.
Everything was fine for a long while. Today, suddenly, I was able to get
from a machine A to machine B, but when I tried to get to A from B, I got
error "Network is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this
network resource. Contact the administrator... (I am the administrator!).
The network path was not found".
What went wrong today? Why I can get from A to B, but not from B to A? How
can I restore the networking both ways?
Any help is appreciated.

Hi
Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network
settings,http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html
As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what it is
allowed to be shared.

Jack,
perhaps I was not clear in my original post... My network was set up long
ago and worked just fine both ways: accessing, sharing, etc. But yesterday,
suddenly, it started to work just one way... What caused this change? How to
prevent it in the future? How to repair it? Is the setting a new network the
only way?
Thanks for your suggestions.
Ilya

Right after I sent the previous message, I checked my network... Surprise,
it works both ways today... So, here's another question: what happened?

For a wireless network, I'd strongly suspect some environmental
influence..... wireless telephone, microwave oven, perhaps a
neighbor's.

Charlie,
I think you're right. However, there was no visible change in the
environment... Also, I'd guess, it could be some glitch within a router...
Well, who knows... But if someone has more suggestions, I'd appreciate
hearing from you.

Hi
Nah, environmental, if it affect the Wireless connection it affect
everything (Internet and both way file transfer).
Network is a dynamic system some changes might occurs within the system with
No outside intervention.
As an Example, most people have a Router and their computers obtain IP
automatically. If a lease expires, or something else happened that forces
the DHCP to reassign IP it might assign a different IP to a computer, or
computers. It takes the network some time (or and may a system boot) to
readjust itself to the computers being in a different address.
