Wireless Networking

[Terrance]

I have just installed wireless network cards in 3
computers all running WindowsXP in a workgroup. When I
try to access some (but not all) of the computers in the
workgroup, from other machines I get the message

'\\Computerxxx 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'.

My systems are about as vanilla as possible. I am the
only user (and therefore administrator) on all three
machines. Also I am unaware that I have set any of the
machines up differently.
Is there a setting somewhere that needs to be adjusted.
I would appreciate any help.

The error you are receiving means that you don't have the
permission to access that network. Try this link:

The error may also mean that that specific computer
doesn't have the rights to access the other computer. My
favorite way of accesing my other computers is through
the run command by typing:

This can also be down to a firewall blocking access on
any/all of the machines. Disable all firewalls whilst you
troubleshoot.
