PC1, PC2, Laptop and network group all set to WORKGROUP
ipconfig shows
PC1 10.0.0.1/255.255.255.0 - Gateway 10.0.0.138
PC2 10.0.0.2/255.255.255.0 - Gateway 10.0.0.138
Laptop 10.0.0.4/255.255.255.0 - Gateway 10.0.0.138

All can connect to the Net no problem.
All set to share one folder at least with each other and PC1 shares 2 Printers with the other two computers.
I can ping any computer from any computer that all works fine.

Everything was sweet until I installed IIS on PC1. Even though IIS is now un-installed shares and printer are not working:-(

The Laptop and PC2 show PC1 in the Network Places, but when I click on it it asks for a Password and shows Name pc1\Guest which is greyed out.

I have always had Guest Account disabled as it is now on all computers, why does it ask for Guest?

Now the sharing stuff does not work. WHY doesn't it work?
