networking problem

[OleDawg]

I have tried to network 2 winxp pentium computers through a
router.Both computers can access the internet through the router .
I have used the setup wizard on both computers a number of times .I
get the same results in that when I get to the MSHOME icon the
computer goes no further and I get a window with the folling .

"Mshome not accessable .You might not have permission to use this
resource.Contact the adminstrator of the server to find out if you
have access permissions.
The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available "

This window shows up on both computers .Im sure that I have missed
something.

Ive done searches on Google and can find lots of references to this
problem but cant seem to zero in on the fix .

HELP>>>>TIA

wrThanks for the come back .Its fixed .The first suggestion that I
tried was to install ipx/spx protocol (tcp/ip was already installed
).It worked .Each computer saw the other immediately .Note that there
were other comments that the new protocol was not needed if tco/ip was
installed ,but it worked on this inatallation .
Thanks again
