Greetings Bob,

Make sure the XP's firewall is disabled. It will block file and printer
sharing by default. If you installed a third party firewall such as
ZoneAlarm, Sygate, or Norton make sure it is properly configured for the
network. Ensure NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled. Details here.

Enable NetBIOS Over TCP/IP (NetBT)

I have tried dozens of times to get my two computers to
network, but I have had no luck. I have run the Windows
XP netork wizard (if you want to call it that), but
EVERYTIME I run it, it fails to set up the wizard. I
keep getting the following message when I try to View the
workgroup computers--

Mshome 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
permission. The list of servers for this workgroup is
not currently available.

Any clues as to what I can do to get this network to
work? Obviously Windows XP does not work well for
networking!
