connecting 2 computers with XP

[Guest]

I have used the home network wizard and have named my computers and
established a workgroup. One computer(office) does allow access to the
other. it has a wireless conection to a the DSL gateway, and I am getting to
the shared files without any problems.

The other computer(media center) has ethernet connection to the gateway and
will not allow access to the the other computer(office) it shows up in the
workgroup computers. When I click on it I get a mesage "" \\Office is
not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource.
Contact the administrator of this service to find out if you have access
Permissions. Access denied. ""

how do I allow access.???

I have turned off all firewalls.
My Gateway is a Actiontec gt701-wg and I have the router mode turned on
I have pinged the Ip address and am getting a response from the office machine

Adrian,

The message "not accessible...not have permission...access denied" can have
numerous causes.

What firewalls did you turn off? Turning off third party firewalls isn't always
a good procedure. Also, check registry setting restrictanonymous, which can
cause problems here.
