I am pulling my hair out. I cannot ping this PC, nor can I access and shared folders or map anything to it, it's like its invisible. It is working normally, I can ping from this PC to other PC's and routers, I can access common folders on other machines from this PC but the mapped drives on this PC are getting errors when trying to connect to them from other PC's. I am actually online typing using the invisible PC. The fire walls are all off on this unit at the moment and still nothing. Please Help, any and all assistance will be greatly appreciated.

"but the mapped drives on this PC are getting errors ". So, you were able to access it at one point in order to map drive letters to it from other computers. What happened after that? Are you getting errors when double-clicking the mapped driver letters in My Computer on the other machines? What errors exactly are you receiving?
