Cannot add a Gateway PC to Local Network...

[Dan]

Need to know which newsgroup to go to for this problem.
No matter what I do, I cannot get an XP PC to communicate
with my LAN. I have installed Network Wizard many times
and it still will not get there.

There seems to be problems in the registry. Had an issue
where Outlook Express would not save passwords and had to
enter the registry and correct a permissions problem.

When I use Explorer to find the PC in question on the
existing network PCs, the PC is found, but will not show
the shared devices. When looking for the known working
PCs on the PC in question, I get "Workgroup is not
accessible. You might not have permission to use this
network resource. etc... The list of servers is not
currently available".

Thanks for any help. I have connected many PCs to my
router in this fashion and have never had this problem.

Please help...

1) Is the user account and password installed on the other pc's - the
ones that will share the Gateway's resources? 2) Is the user name
different from the computer name on the Gateway? 3) Is the computer
name on the Gateway unique? 4) What NIC is in the Gateway? Does it work
if you connect it directly to the Internet source? 5) How many
computers are in your lan? Those are some questions for you to answer.
Then post back if you need more help.
