I have an external hard drive on a desktop computer on my home network I use for backups.
I used to have it set up as a mapped network drive on a laptop so I could backup the laptop to it. I had to disconnect it as a network drive and now cannot set it up again.
In View Workgroup Computers I can see the desktop computer, but cannot open it. Error says it not accessible.

When I go to try and map the drive as a network drive and browse to find it, I find the desktop but not the attached external drive.

I have been through XP Networking Wizard on both computers. No luck. I set up sharing on that external hard drive. No luck.

Any thoughts???
