Cannot access one computer's resources...

I've had a home network for a while in this house. 3 desktops and now an additional laptop. Ever since day 1 with the laptop I could access the network fine. Now, one of the desktops (mine) cannot be accessed.... you can't access the shared files. When attempting to go to \\[computer name] i get:

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

Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer".

As I said it has all worked fine.. and the other 2 desktops+laptop can all continue to access each other's things.. just not this one desktop.

I don't remember anything changing at all... what could it be?

Thanks in advance!

Try temporarily disabling all firewalls, inlcuding the Windows firewall and any third party firewalls.  If it solves the problem, you then know where you have to start looking.

I only ask this again because my experience on many questions posted here on the forums is that we go over and over alot of possibities, only to find, after serveral days of back and forth postings, that the user says something like "Oh, I didn't realize the McAffee Security Center/Norton Internet Security/Zone Alarm etc. has a firewall. disabling that firewall solved the problem".  Are you absolutely 100% sure that all firewalls are disabled or configured properly to all local network traffic?
