update :)

I can now see machine b in the workgroup but have this messgae which seems
to be the same for many others

\\elmo 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 permissions. Logon failure: the user has not been granted the
requested logon type at this computer

I notice there was a post for xp pro to fix this, is there a way for xp home
.

regards

John
