This is another fix for that dreaded error;

\\Comp_Name is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource.
Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.

This is yet another fix to get your computers sharing files again. The first fix I posted is here. There are some pics to help you along. You should be aware that you do this procedure at your own risk. No liablility shall be incurred by Linear Logic Consulting for the results of your own try at this.
