Thanks Chuck the problem seems to be with ZoneAlarm Pro(ZAP)firewall. Here is
my setup:

I have a desktop with win XP Pro and a laptop with win XP home and ZAP
5.5.062.011.

With ZAP off(not loaded) and Win XP Firewall Off I can see both computers in my
Workgroup network and can access the files in each.

With ZAP On and WinXP firewall Off I get the error message that the "Workgroup
is unavailable".

My settings are:
In ZAP's FireWall->Zones I have Internet Zone=High and Trusted Zone=Med. In the
Firewall->Zones I have The Gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.0/255.xxx.xxx.xxx=Network=Trusted
(I put IP XXX for security). I have the DHCP gate xxx.xxx.xxx.1 = IP
addess=Trusted. I entered each of the DNS IP's as Trusted. I put in the router
assignment xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to xxx.xxx.xxx.255 IP Range = Trusted .

In Program Control->Programs I have set "Generic Host Process"
Access->Trusted,Internet checked ON. Server->Trusted checked On and
Server->Internet "X" off.

Where can I find the proper settings for ZAP?

Thanks.
