If you can give the description of the error we can just try figuring it out what the problems can be. Try getting the Services in the control panel Administrative tools running specially RMI so that if its anything related to that problem can be solved.
while networking the souce pc grants access but the destination one does not accept it.i have gone to services and enabled LAN But it does not seem to work. a message is displayed" A NETWORK CABLE IS PLUGGED OUT".However, the cable is plugged in. Plz help.
The reason that A NETWORK CABLE IS PLUG OUT can have multiple reasons. Physically its connected but OS cannot recognize then it will be show unplugged or hub or any other device is malfunctioning then also the same can happen.

Are you using the Cross-cable ethernet wire ? To connect two PC's (aka DCE - Data Communications Equipment in Networking nomenclature) you required cross-cable rather than traditional straight-cable.
If you dont have a crossover cable theres some coputers that let u switch the pins in the bios to make it look like a crossover cable to the PC
