MShome not accessible

Guest

I am working with a home network in which I am trying to share the
SharedDocs of each one. Computer A is it appears that I ca see the other
computer, however, access is denied.. Computer B is not. When I click on
"View Workgroup Comptuers" I get the error "Mshome is not accessible. You
might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the
administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. -
The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available." What do
I have to do to see MY OWN workgroup!? I've rebooted. I've turned off
firewalls. I checked the sharing and security for both computers.
Comments please?

I had the same problem. As I changed two thingst at the same time I
don't know which one was the most important.
I changed a value in an item in the registry. As I don't remember which
one I suggest you do a search on the web (I also found it there).
I was using zonealarm as a firewall and I already had disabled it,
but... it was only after I uninstalled zonealarm that my home network
was working. Afterwards I activated the windows firewall, but it seems
this isn't necessary using a router.
And... using google you see there are a lot of people struggling with
the same problem. There's also a windows newsgroup concerning networks
and many of the posts are about the same problem.
