    Hi - please help with the following two problems.

    Background info - Moms and Kids computer were networked and worked fine until system mechanic 6 was run on kids and also service pack 2 was loaded on kids. Service pack 2 is not on Moms, but system mechanic was run on Moms.

    Problem 1 - now we are not networked and after trying to reset the network setup with the network wizard - we still can not network. The following error message comes up: MShome 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 persmission. The semaphore timeout period has expired. This message is there even when the firewall is set to off and the c drive is set to share.

    Problem 2 - after the loading of the above mentioned programs - when Moms computer is turned on the following server message comes up: Please advise and help. Thanks. Sharon & Braden
