Re: XP home network issue

It's good advice, Chuck. It took me a while, but here's all teh extra
detail you advised was necessary for a proper debug to an older post I made:

Windows Firewall off on both machines.
Norton Antvirus prevented from loading on Machine 1, not present on Machine
2
In 'View Network Computers', both machines can see the icon of the other.
Machine 1 can read from and write to Machine 2 perfectly.
On double-clicking the icon for Machine 1 from Machine 2, teh exact error
message is:

'\\Machine 1 is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this
network resource. Contact the administrator of the server to find out if
you have access permissions. Access is denied.'

Machine 2 CAN read from and write to a 3rd machine connected wirelessly to
the network via the same wireless router to which Machine 1 & Machine 2 are
connected by cable.

All machines see the internet perfectly.

The ipconfig/all files are attached. Neither machine recognised the
'browstat' command.

Much appreciated.

Thanks,

Steven
