I hope I am posting this in the correct group. I am a newbie so please
bear with me. I'm not a technical person so please don't be harsh if
the terms i use are not correct.

I have a small lan network of 3 computers. PC1 has windows server 2003
and PC2 and PC2 have windows xp professional. These are connected
using a dlink 8 port hub.

The connectivity between PC2 and PC3 is fine in that I can access
shared files and folders between these 2. However I cannot access any
shared folder from PC1 to PC2 or PC3 or vice versa when a user is
logged in PC1. The connectivity is perfect when no user is logged into
PC1 i.e. i am able to access the shared folder and files without any
problem from the other computers but not when someone is logged into
PC1. When someone is logged into PC1, and I try to access the shared
folders sometimes the folders open sometime they don't and the files
don't open at all.

I didn't have this problem until a few days back. everything was
working fine. I am not sure what is causing this problem. Perhaps you
guys can help me out on this.

Thanks in advance.

look for disabling windows firewalling, then look more deeply on how to fine
tune it
and also enable netbios on each machine if you don't have an internal dns

That's a begining

hope it helps
