Lem's advice is pretty thorough. WRT software firewalls particularly, "Safe
Zones" notwithstanding some of them still block File and Printer Sharing and
you may have to open those ports or disable the specific rules blocking them
in the firewall software.

Hi
This has driven me nuts. I have 3 computers and 2 printers and 1 dsl
router.
we also have voip phones and 1 pc and 1 laptop is connected by ethernet to
a
voip phone which in turn is connected by ethernet cable to the router. 1
pc
is connected direct to the router and the other printer is connected by
ethernet to the router.
I want to put them on a network with the other printer shared
through a pc usb. I have followed the wizard to the letter, I have had
friends who do this for a living give me advice and I have read a book on
setting this up. All file sharing etc. is set up. it seems I am close but
not close enough.
On both pc's, only 1 of which is connected through voip to router, when I
go
to 'My Network Places' and then click'View Workgroup Computers', I can see
the name of the network and the name of that particular printer plus the
name
of the laptop, but when I click on the icon for them I get an error saying
'NAME COMPUTER is
not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network
resource.
Contact the administrator............' . On the other remaining computer,
the
laptop, I can only see the name of the network nt the other computers.
When
I click on this I get a similar error 'NAME NETWORK is not accessible. You
might not have permission to use this network to use this network
resource.
Contact the
administrator............'
I have tried every troubleshoot link, re done the wizard countless times
but
all to no avail.
Is the problem the router? Who is the administrator? Why doesn't this
work?
I posted this on another newsgroup and have since found other people with
the same problem but no solutions to date. One piece of advice I got was
to
add all the computer user accounts to each computer although this hasn't
solved the problem.

Thanks a million.
