workgroup share problem

[Glen]

Computer B can see A's shared Files but A can't see B's. XPPro on both with
Network wizard run on both and files shared on both. Computers are hooked up
to router.

When I log onto A as administrator and go into workgroup computer folder it
is empty and I get error message stating that I dont have permission to
access and network path was not found.

Hope I posted all relevant info. TIA for all help.

1. Make sure you are only running one firewall on each computer and that
it is properly configured to allow lan sharing. If you ran the Network
Setup Wizard and have Service Pack 2, the Windows Firewall was
automatically enabled. This can cause a problem if you are also running
a third-party firewall. If this is the case, check your configuration
on the third-party firewall and disable the Windows Firewall.

2. Create user accounts/passwords on both computers that match; i.e.,
have an account for "John" on both computers with identical passwords.

firewall enabled I changed b's to windows firewall and disabled sygate. this
did the trick. Its all good now.
