Adding 3rd Computer to Network

[Guest]

I have an XP SP2 machine connected directly to a linksys router via a wired
connection. I also have an XP SP2 machine connected to same router with a
built-in wireless card. These two machines work great. I can see each other
and shre files and print. Functions normally. I have added a third XP SP2
machine with a usb wireless adapter. I ran the network setup wizzard, unique
name, workgroup name identical. I can see the this new machine from the
existing wireless connection. I can ping this machine. THis machine can
ping the wireless machine.

However, when I try to view the workgroup computers from the new machine, I
get the error message "you do no have permission to access". When i double
click on the new machine from the existing wireless machine, i get the same
error message.

Can someone please help me to resolve this issue?

Thanks in advance,

Jape_Ringgold

I have an open guest accouint on each machine.

I am at wits end over this. Everything seems to match up as far as network
settings go.

Thanks in advance for any help,

First look for a misconfigured or overlooked personal firewall.

And make sure that Guest is properly activated for network access.
