I have 2 computers next to each other and I had to re-format computer "A" . Now before I did that I had the 2 computers networked and working fine, and now I can't access computer "B" from computer "A".

There is probably somthing simple I've missed but I'll break it down for you.

I have conected computer "A" and "B" through a router, all lines are fine, all lights are on that should be. I can even surf the web on both computers.

Now from computer "A" I click on "My Network Places" icon and double click on "Computers Near Me" I can see both computers "A" and "B"
but when I try to access computer "B" by double clicking on it I get a message that says "B is not accessable . The server is not configured for transactions" if I right click on computer "B" and click on "Properties" I get a message that says "The server "B" dose not accept remote requests.

But if I go to computer "B" and double click on "My Network Places" icon and double click on "Computers Near Me" I can see both computers "A" and "B" AND I can access all sheard folders on computer "A" .

What have I done wrong?
Any help would be apreciated.
