I have just installed a new Dell 8400 with XP Media Center Edition. After
running the Network Wizard, my connections to internet are fine but I can't
see the other computers in my local home network (workgroup). I can ping the
other computers by ip address but not by name. Other computers on the
network see my new computer but not the share that I set up. Have tried
rebooting both the new computer and one of the others in the already
established network.
When I go to view Workgroup computers, the message I get says "Newyork is
not accessible. You may not have access to this network resource. ....".
BTW "Newyork" is the name of my workgroup.
 
this step by step troubleshooting not accessible may help.
