This laptop is runnig fine on the network i.e if you sit in front of it you can do anything that's need to be done on the network, But the problem is that i can't browse this particular workstation from anywhere on the network eventhough i can ping the IP address but if i go to start/run and type the IP then i got a message that the network path is not fund.I have about 40 workstation in my WORKGROUP and this is the only one with this issue. Please help me out.

What os's are you working with?
