Apple Mac no longer accesses Windows XP shared Folder on Network

Hi All,

I have a PC running Windows XP hooked up via an ethernet hub to my three macs. I was able to access the "My Documents" folder on the PC no problem (I set it up to be shared on the PC).

I recently had to replace my ADSL modem. I used the installation disk that came with it on one of my Macs, now this Mac can't access the shared PC folder.

It networks fine with the other Macs, and the other Macs talk fine to the PC. The internet connection is fine for all computers (including the PC).

However, when I try to access the folder on this one Mac, I get the message:

"The Alias "XXXXXX" could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found"

I am then invited to either fix or delete the alias. When I try to delete the alias, I am told that I don't have sufficient privileges (even though I am logged in as an administrator). I can't fix it, because I can't locate what I want it to point to.

I have tried renaming the PC. What happens then is that the alias is also renamed (so the Mac is seeing it after a fashion), but the alias still won't work on this one computer.

I can't help thinking that the install disk has altered network settings somehow on this computer, but I don't know where to go from here.

Help, please!

Cheers!

Karl
