I have two laptops with XP professional networked
together via wi-fi. They share an internet connection
which works great, but the second comupter can't seem to
see the first computer under either the search or network
neighborhood. I get a message like "workgroup name is
not accessible. You may not have permission to use this
network resource" I found a article on the site that
says to verify the computer browser service is running on
both computers and that netbios is enabled. I have
checked both and they are fine. It still doesn't work.
I've even tried pinging the ip address and get no
response. Any ideas?? I need to be able to share files
and a printer between the two and I'm stuck.

Thanks,
Chris

Are you running Zone Alarm or another firewall? If so, need to give
access to the other computer.
