"Computer name" is not accessible. You might not have permision to use this
network resource. contact the administrator of this server to find out if you
have access permision.

I have 3 computers running XP Home SP2. All 3 are connected to a Hub and all
is working as they are getting DSL through the hub, also in MSHOME all three
computers show up, on each computer, yet when i try get into them i get the
above permision Issue. I am trying to share the printers on my main computer
to the other 2, yet i cant as im getting this same problem on all 3 computer.
All computers are using the administrator account.

Any ideas on what i can do to try fix this

Regards, Ian

Ian,

One of the most common causes of this problem would be a misconfigured or
overlooked personal firewall, or other security component. There are several
other possibilities too, and any might be the cause of your problem. Read this
article with an open mind.

With XP Home and Simple File Sharing, there is no administrative access thru the
network. You have to enable the Guest account for network access.

For more direct help, provide "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all" from each
computer, so we can diagnose the problem. Read this article, and linked
articles, and follow instructions precisely (download browstat!):
