I am having to re-setup one of my networked PC's - each use XP. I want to
be
able to share fiels and printers. I have allocated the IP addr range in
each
firewall to be Trusted and used Network setup to create worksgroups. On
my
master PC (he one not being re-setup), whilst I can see the new workgroup
I
cannot access it. It says workgroup "is Not accessible" saying I need
access
permissions-- I cannot even see the master PC itself. Exactly the same
process on the other PC works.

What is the issue here?? Thanks for any help

Two things:
Can you contact the other computer(s) using the run command and typing
\\computername or \\ip_address

When you set up the computer using the network wizard, which setting did you
use when it talks about how do you connect to the internet(eg through a
gateway or a hub etc).
