I have 6 computers all on a network. They are all running Windows XP home and
I want to create a workgroup and file share between these 6 computers.

I used the network wizard on 5 of the pcs and they file share beautifully.

The 6th one was the trouble. I get an error that says "You might not have
permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this
server to find out if you have access permissions."

Please read about setting file sharing up in XP Home - with Guest authentication
and Simple File Sharing.

You may have a problem with this.

XP Home has a limit of 5 simultaneous logins to a shared network
resource.
