If anyone could help, I would appreciate it. When I
upgraded to XP on my PC and got a new laptop with XP, I
started having problems seeing my laptop with
my PC. I cannot see anything with my laptop. I can
connect to the Internet, etc..., but cannot access my
laptop from either my laptop or PC. Both are
on XP, both share the same Workgroup. I cannot see
anything from my laptop when I go into "View Workgroup
Computers". I get an error message stating, "Workgroup is
not accessible. You might not have permission to use this
network resource...." I checked everything I can think
of and the settings on my PC look the same as on my
laptop, but there must be some security issues or
something that is not allowing my laptop to be accessed.
I shared the drive, etc...Please Help!

Make sure the XP firewall is off.
