I disabled my MS firewall although it said that it was configured for my
network, however I still do not have access to the other machine. Both
machines (WinME and Win XP Home-SP2) can access the internet but not each
other. It says: //bedroom1 is not accessible, you do not have permission to
view this. Thank you
