I have an XP pro system cabled to a wireless router that's cabled to

I have an XP home system connected to the router via wireless.
The XP home system was just added a couple of weeks ago. At that
time I installed a brand new USB wireless adapter to it.
I ran the Network Setup Wizard on the pro system and then on the home
system, setting up a network named 'HOME'. All (Internet access,
printer sharing, folder sharing) worked just fine until a couple of
days ago.
Now - on either system - when I go to My Network Places | Entire
Network | Microsoft Windows Network the system(s) take about 30
seconds to find the 'HOME' network. When I click on that Icon the
systems takes about 45second and then times-out to an error message
"HOME is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this
network. . . . "
I still have Internet access, shared printers still work such, shared
folders are usable if I add then using Add Network Places. However,
In addition to the above mentioned 'Entire Network' issue my Shared
Documents folder(s) refuse to be added as Network Places.

Windows firewalls are disabled on both boxes. At the suggestion of
another newsgroup I added identically named user admin accounts to
both systems. (I was told this is "required" - but it was not
required back when the above items were working)

The solution to this is not critical since I do have print sharing
and do have 'regular' folder sharing.

Up until a few days ago I could just click on my "HOME" network Icon
and the entire shared network was visable. Not now!

Any help/suggestions is appreciated.

I had to reenable the security center.
