Weird file sharing behavior

[SneakX]

Hi, here is my weird problem.

Here we have 3 computer running XP Pro linked by a switch. We have static IP in the 192.168 range. The main problem is with my machine. When I enable a share, whichever computer I try to access it the opened window freeze and stop responding. We almost need to reboot the machine to get rid of this dead window. The problem also occurs when I try to access my share via my own computer (!!!). Example: I run Windows Explorer, I type \\sneakx (my computer name). I see my shares, when I click one of both, the problem occurs. It does it over the 2 other computers.

Note that I can access other computer files without any problems. The 3 computers can ping the others, they are all seen over the workgroup, etc... I tried anything ! Simple of advanced sharing, Netbios over TCP/IP, I verified the permissions, nothing works...

what is the most stupid is to access my files the other computers can by using my FTP client (which absolutely not use the same techniques, I know). Anyone have an idea???

I think reinstalling Windows should do the trick but if I can find something else it would be really appreciated.

Thanks

Has the problem machine ever been connected to another network of which there are remainings left?

Another possibilities might be a conflict in IP #. Does any of your pc's have the same ip #?

Does it make a difference on how you put the machines at work?

Not since I formatted last time,
No we have different IP and all machines can ping each other.
The problem is only related to my PC, with sharing enabled.
Our network works pretty well but I find this issue annoying (at least we can use FTP client to send stuff on my computer over the network...
