I created a simple workgroup between my Windows XP Pro
computer and my Win 2000 Pro computer across my very
simple LAN. After naming the computers and workgroup
properly, everything seems just fine on my Win 2000 Pro
machine, but I can not access the workgroup on my Win XP
Pro machine. It gives me an error message stating that I
might not have permission to access the workgroup, but I
am logged on to the Administrator account, which is the
account I was in when I created the workgroup (the only
user account I use on this computer), so I dont knwo what
to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
 
I believe the problem here to be my Norton Firewall
blocking the workgroup. Can someone please tell me which
port to allow through the firewall so as to permit the
workgroup. Thanks a bunch!

Hi Rob,

I have exactly the same problem. But it appears after I installed and shared ADSL modem. My gateway PC also has Norton Personal Firewall.
