I have found similar problems to mine on this site, followed the suggestions
but problem persist:
pc1 and pc2, both on xp pro, are connected via hub to cable. I tried to set
up home network with the xp wizard, here is result: when i switch on both pc,
the one where i check "view group computers" first, manages to access the
workgroup, with both pc names in it but can access only itself, not second pc.
on other pc when i try to access i get usual "access denied contact admin
etc etc" (I am the admin!!!). i did everything steve vinograd suggested and
others with similar problem....any idea?
thanks, Alisa
