I am having trouble connecting to a network share on Windows XP Professional via net use or entering a UNC path in the run dialog.

The Workstation service is running, however I get the following errors:

net use:

The Workstation service has not been started.

More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2138.

\\UNC\:

And a message box with the error:

The network is not present or not started.

I have tried restarting the Workstation Service, but nothing seems to be working. Any ideas?
