I know it's simple, but... make sure you have file sharing turned on. Sometimes its the obvious stuff that gets overlooked.

The first is my PC which is running XP pro (upgraded from 2000 pro using NTFS), the second is a laptop using 802.11g internal wireless card. I have configured a "workgroup" using TCP/IP for both computers, but I continue to get errors stating "access is denied" when i open "View Workgroup Computers" from My Network Places.
