I'm just using "My Network Places"... I guess it's time to dust off the old command prompt...now where was that again?

It's not that bad. Just click Start, select run and type \\computername or \\IP. If you use \\IP, you'll be bypassing all those name pesky name resolution issues.

I've given up trying to fix naming issues in workgroups.

Any idea why I can see and access the main computer from the cocktail but I can't see nor access the cocktail computer from the main computer?

Turn off the Windows firewall on the cocktail computer.

FrizzleFried:
\\COCKTAIL doesn't work.

\\192.168.1.105 doesn't work.

That is the computer name and IP address.  Error reads:  The Network Path Was Not Found.

Windows Firewall is not active...as a matter of fact,  the service is disabled.

Kevin Mullins:
I constantly have problems between one computer or another like that.
Sometimes to the point of having to reset the network shares back up again on the one that can't be seen or accessed.

Go to the properties of C: (or whatever your main drive is) under Sharing and Security like you normally would and  unshare it and then re-share it.
And I check the "Allow users to change my files."
And then a usual re-boot of the PC.

Just a suggestion to try.

Windows Wonky Networking.
