hi there:
I've set an XP to connect to Win2000. Same work group name but when I click
the network, an error occured:

Workgroup is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this
network resorce. Contact the administator of this server to find out if you
have access permissions.
The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available.

The network connection is three computers and a DSL modem connected to a
hub. the three computers are installed with windows xp, windows 2000 and
windows 98 respectively. the DSL modem is connect to internet. Now, all
computers can connect to internet directly, the windows 2000 PC can see the
window sp on workgroup list but cannot open XP. The error message is "cannot
visit \\winXP, cannot find the network path ".

How can I set the network?
